Carroll County Child Development Center

🌟Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day! 🌟
Our custodial staff are the heroes behind the sparkle 🌟💪! Thanks for keeping Carroll County Schools looking top notch. 🏫🧹🧽Your hard work every day keeps our schools safe, clean, and shining ✨🏫. We appreciate all that you do 🙏👏!

Making friends means looking out for each other💕
The other day on the playground we spotted one friend helping another buckle up their helmet before riding off on their trike! 🚴‍♂️✨ Not only are they practicing safety, they’re also learning what it means to be a caring friend! At Carroll County Child Development Center, playtime is more than just fun - it’s where kindness grows, teamwork shines, and friendships are built that last well beyond the playground. 🌟

👶🎶 Toddler Time fun at the Carroll County Public Library! 📚💃
Our little ones from the Carroll County Child Development Center’s Home-Based program had a blast this week dancing, playing with musical toys, and learning through play with their families. 💛✨
Home-Based Instructor Jennifer Ellis joins the fun every Tuesday and encourages all home-based kiddos and families to stop by! 🙌
📅 Toddler Time happens every Tuesday & Thursday from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. at the library. Come join the fun! 🎉

🖌️🎉 Creativity was flowing in the Carroll County Child Development Center’s Home Based program!

A few of our little learners enjoyed family painting time with paint sticks 🎨🌟. Not only is it fun, but it also helps them:
🌈 Recognize colors
🤲 Practice fine motor skills
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Share special family moments

Learning really can be this colorful and fun! 💛✨

✨PantherFest is tonight!✨
Join us at Panther Field from 6-8 p.m. for football, food, vendors and lots of opportunities to support our students!

Preschoolers in the Carroll County Child Development Center have learned a lot over the summer and are ready for a return to school.
These little ones were exploring nature through their garden, going on a nature hunt and planting their own mini garden. These kinds of activities encourage our littlest Panthers to learn about nature, nutrition and develop their gross motor skills. The kiddos counted melons, picked produce, observed a spider crawling and watched a tractor work in the fields.
Daily opportunities reinforce that parents are their child’s first teacher! (Photos courtesy of Jennifer Ellis)
