Firefighters, fossils and frightfully good fun! 🚒🦕 A visit from the St. Michaels Volunteer Fire Department brought fire safety to life, while our Twos made dinosaur tracks and preschoolers whipped up spooky banana ghost pops! 👻 The annual costume party was a hit, complete with costumes, limbo and plenty of smiles! We also fondly remembered Mr. Kevin, a longtime friend of this special firefighter tradition. ❤️

📘 White Marsh
Pumpkins, spiders and a little science magic! 🎃🕷️ School-agers experimented with pumpkin density, while preschoolers became doctors, firefighters and grocery clerks for the day! Counting apple seeds and matching pairs added some math to the mix. The grand finale? Their 2nd Annual Table-or-Treat, bringing families together for a spook-tacular celebration! 👻🍬

📒 Cordova
From garden to table! 🌱🥕 Our school-agers got a taste of harvest season, discovering how vegetables make their way from the fields to our plates. They even tried some delicious veggies and did a little planting of their own. Future farmers in the making! 🚜

Great day at the Maryland State Child Care Association Leadership Symposium: Elevating Childhood through Advocacy where Cristy Morba Morrell served on a panel discussion of the Make a Circle documentary film, a love letter to early childhood educators and a portrait of a childcare system in crisis across the nation. The film outlines advocacy efforts to increase funding & benefits for the workforce behind the workforce. We will continue to advocate for our providers & working families in our collective local community!

Pumpkin patches, farm animals, tasty treats and some pretty impressive problem-solving! Fall is in full swing at Critchlow Adkins, and our kids are making the most of it.

📕 School Age
Safety first, fun always! 🚦🍕 Our kids explored health, safety and community, learning about food safety, neighborhood adventures and the rules of the road.

📗 Preschool
Pumpkins, magic and feathered friends—oh my! 🎃🐥 Farmer Wendy and W***y Woo Woo brought fall festivities to life with a magic show, adorable chicks and ducks, scarecrow-making and pumpkin picking!

A little spice and everything nice! 🌽😋 In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Ms. Roxana introduced our youngest chefs to delicious Mexican street corn!

📒 Cordova
Down on the farm and up for a challenge! 🐐🐮 A trip to Family Affair Farms brought cow feeding, cuddly bunnies, friendly goats, a donkey and pumpkins to take home! Back in the classroom, fingerprint fall trees and decorated pumpkins showed off everyone's artistic flair. Challenge Island wrapped things up with a Five Little Pumpkins engineering challenge—those gates may have tumbled, but our determined builders kept at it until they succeeded! 🎃💪

From farmyard friends to future engineers, our Critchlow Kids are proving that big adventures come in little packages! 💚💙💛

Our very own Cristy Morba Morrell enjoyed a little four-legged inspiration at Campbell’s Lane Farm as part of Shore Leadership 2.0!

This unique experience with the farm’s special donkey herd was all about slowing down, breathing a little deeper, and reconnecting—with ourselves, nature, one another, and what matters most. 🌿💚

Sometimes the best leadership lessons come when we slow our pace, enjoy the moment, and let a few lovable donkeys lead the way! Check out this smiling guy! 🫏❤️

Our five senses were put to the test as we kicked off themes of health, safety and community! Kids opened their very own pretend “Pizza Hut,” designing pizzas and taking on all the jobs of running a restaurant. 🍕 A BIG thank-you to Denton Pizza Hut for donating pizza boxes to make the experience even more fun! Slime and STEM experiments added a little ooey-gooey science to the mix.

Teamwork made the magic happen at White Marsh!

Add in outdoor exploration and fall crafts, and it was one busy week!

📒 Cordova Site
Our preschoolers went on a nature walk to collect treasures for some very creative self-portraits, while school-agers explored what it means to be a good friend through games, friendship bracelets and necklaces. 🌿🧡
