They spend both the mornings and afternoons with our students, making sure they are ready to start their day and cared for after school. From nurturing and supporting them, to helping with homework and providing a snack, they play such an important role in our students’ daily lives.
Thank you for all that you do!

This was a great opportunity for students to learn more about the incentives being offered and get excited about their goals. Be sure to ask your child about their goals and which celebration day prize they chose—we love hearing their enthusiasm and motivation!
We’re excited to see how many of our students will reach their typical growth and even their stretch growth this year. Way to go, learners—keep up the great work!
Nurse Jenny was just two away with a guess of 325…so close!
What an impressive guess—way to go, Nurse Jenny!
Then came the big challenge—holding a plank to try and break the school record… and THEY DID IT! The room was filled with cheers, huge smiles, and so much excitement!
Way to go, Kindergarten—you crushed it!
Enjoy your weekend, and we can’t wait to see everyone back on Monday!

Our Pre-K program at Nike has openings for next school year—and we would LOVE to welcome your little one! 💙✨
Our fabulous teachers, Ms. Katrina and Ms. Natalie, create a warm, caring, and fun-filled environment where students get plenty of one-on-one attention. It’s the perfect place for children to learn, play, build friendships, and grow each day!
If you have a little one—or know someone who does—who would enjoy structured fun and making new friends, we’d love to have them join us! Please contact the Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center at 636-271-1464 and let them know you’re interested in the Nike location.
Hatching day brought so much excitement—students started the morning watching one chick emerge and ended the day celebrating another new arrival! The highlight for many was “holding day,” where students earned the opportunity to hold the chicks by demonstrating responsibility and perseverance during their MAP prep.
For some, it was their very first time holding a chick, and they handled the experience with such care and kindness. ❤️ The class welcomed 12 chicks in total and will be naming each one!
While the chicks have now moved to their forever home, students will continue to receive updates and check-ins throughout the year to watch them grow and change. What an incredible hands-on learning experience! 🌱🐥
