Preparing every child to become a successful individual in an ever evolving world

A Big Welcome to Our Feathered Friends!

We have some chirp-tastic news - the chicks have arrived! This morning, after days of anticipation, our fluffy new friends finally made their grand entrance into the world. The children were thrilled to witness the incredible hatching process.  

After working hard to break free from their shells using their egg tooth (a special little bump on their beak), the chicks started out wet and a little wobbly. But in no time, they fluffed up into the adorable, downy-soft friends we’ve been waiting for. 

Fun Fact: Did you know that chicks start chirping before they even hatch? That’s right! They communicate with each other—and even with their mother—while still inside the egg! 

Over the next few days, the children will have the chance to observe how the chicks grow and change. We’ll be making sure they stay warm and comfortable in their brooder while they get used to their new home. 

Parents, stay tuned for more updates (and, of course, lots of cute chick photos).
