The Stars 3s class spent the last two week of February learning about and exploring the West Village. They learned all about transportation around the Village as well as the wonderful restaurants that are typical of the neighborhood. For their cooking project they wanted to learn about something that is a favorite of theirs: cupcakes. Magnolia Bakery generously came to visit their class to teach them how to frost cupcakes.   Read More»

Have you ever wondered if your child could be the next Picasso or Rembrandt? A lot of parents do, and often they hold onto every piece of artwork their child brings home in an effort to build the collection from a young age. This article published in the NY Times & Seattle Times explores that tendency, and Purple Room teacher Haley Gibson offers up her perspective as a  teacher of some of these future artists (or engineers, doctors, teachers or even astronauts).   Read More»
