Week 4/6/26
+ Bakery Orders Close Sun at 6pm for T/F, Summer + 2026/27 Registration
We hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend, complete with the cozy rain we so desperately needed. If you are celebrating Easter, Passover, or other Spring religious holidays, we hope that they have been meaningful for you.
A reminder there is no school in Leander ISD on Monday, so we will welcome elementary students alongside our regular preschool students. Lunch will be provided for all students staying on 12:30-3:30pm Monday.
New in the bakery this week, we have individual quiches in two flavors, with either gluten free or regular crusts available!
Have a great week,
Leslie, Olivia, and Iris

This week has been a delight for a gardener, as plants love rain more than city water! The children have been excited to see the things that we planted weeks ago sprout and have loved adding straw to our “potato patch”.
This year, we are taking a few different approaches in the garden, including companion planting. Conveniently, many companion plants that grow taller will provide shade for shorter, more temperamental plants. We’ll eventually add shade cloth where needed. Another new approach is to continuously add to the garden vs. one large planting.
Some social media accounts I’m loving, as they are quite productive in a small suburban yard:
The Okra Lady—located in San Antonio, we just received some of her seeds in the mail!
New Garden Road-located in Austin. My former hairdresser’s husband-they feed themselves from their garden year-round!
Fromthe.garden-located in Leander. Lots of great information including growing medicinal herbs.
Come spend an ACTIVE summer with us!
In additional to all of our great inside/outside materials, nature walks, and seasonal books children will also enjoy the food and activities listed by week (and more)!

Camp FAQ
Will it be possible to drop-in to camp?
Yes, drop-in single full/half days will be released during the summer. The weekly sign-up link will be used. Drop-ins will be billed each Friday.
Will it be possible to drop-in just for the afternoons, 12:30-3:30pm?
This is undetermined at this time and will be based on the needs of our full day campers.
Will there be Stay and Play over the summer?
Yes, Stay and Play will be held from 9am-12pm on Fridays.
Can refunds be issued if our plans change?
No, we don’t offer refunds, but we do apply credit toward other camps or services, even in the Fall.
What is the latest we can arrive to camp?
It is suggested that all campers arrive by 9am so as not to miss any activities. That said, we carry on with our schedule and families are welcome to catch up to us on nature walks, etc. We try to take walks while it is still cooler outside.
Will every activity be offered every day of camp?
No. Some activities and experiences do repeat, but not all. A more detailed camp plan and menu is distributed the week before camp.
Are you outside all day?
No, but we are outside a lot! Children are primarily outside from arrival until 12:30/1pm. We cool off in the air conditioning periodically during the morning.
From 1pm-3:00pm, children enjoy activities inside.
At 3:00pm, we return outside for afternoon snack and departure.
Sign up for 2026/27 HERE! Enrollment is now open to our waitlist and the community at large. Classes begin 8/17/26 and run through the end of May 2027.
