Monthly Updates:
🌱 We’re so excited for all that 2026 at The Little Red Barn has to offer! 🌱
>> Thank you so much for all of the wonderful gifts! We felt so loved and could not stop talking about how amazing our LRB parents are – you all are truly the best! 🧡
>> 🌟Just a few friendly reminders kick off the new year!
- Please don’t forget to wash your kiddos hands during morning drop-off! We want to continue to keep everyone healthy and safe as we enter the snowy months.
- Make sure ALL bottles and food containers are labeled with your kiddos first and last name as well as the date.
- Make sure to take sleep sacks and water bottles/sippy cups home on Fridays
>> Winter Attire 🌨️🧣 : As the snow sets in, please make sure to bundle up you little ones! Check in with your teachers to make sure your kiddo has the appropriate clothing attire stored away (long sleeves, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, hats, etc.)!
🎅🏼Christmas RECAP!✨📸
Christmas at The Little Red Barn was so much fun! Thank you for letting us spend this magical day with your precious babes! ❤️
Piglets Classroom REVAMP!🐷✨
Our Piglets classroom is growing right along with our little toddlers! We’re excited to share that we are re-licensing this classroom to accommodate kiddos ages 1-2 years old! This transition will help us better support our growing learners as they begin to make gradual strides towards the Big Red Barn routine. You may see some changes in the classroom and the curriculum, however we will send a follow-up message to families with more details! 🥰
What’s New?!
With the New Year comes lots of new and exciting changes! The Barn is making some changes not only to our administrative roles, communication platforms, and classrooms, but to large scale size as well!
- New Sister School! We were very busy over the break and closed on a new facility not far from The Big Red Barn. We are branching out and creating a sister school that will be focused more on our passion for spreading God’s love. The Big Red Barn Christian Academy will hopefully be opening in March or April of 2026! Ms. Alicia will be partnering with Ashley on this adventure as she takes on her dream of creating a Faith Based Bible Curriculum for Early Childhood settings!
- If this passion is something you share with us, of if you would like your kiddos to be at one location, please reach out to Ashley or Dom to talk about a transfer!
- New Parent Communication Portal! Now that we will be a 3 site operation we will be switching from Brightwheel to an app called Playground. Playground has all the same basic functions as Brightwheel, but has a lot more to offer when it comes to operating multiple sites. Be on the lookout an email with next steps as we will hopefully be switching over by 2/15/26.
- New Administrative Role! We are so excited to officially announce that Ms. Maisey, our past preschool teacher, will be coming back onboard as our Conscious Discipline Coordinator. She has been working hard on becoming an expert on all things Conscious Discipline and will help us through our implementation stages. She will be working with all teachers in all three locations.
