SolBe Families,

Sunshine means this is the perfect first day for the #ChalkChallenge! The SolBe community is joining together to show our gratitude for all essential workers by participating in the #ChalkChallege Movement.

A Word from the Creators:

Why The #ChalkChallenge?

“The #chalkchallenge will not only ignite the practice of showing gratitude to the many selfless workers, but also help promote creative expression for all ages, inspire solidarity safely from home, and bring joy to all of us who need compassion and love during this unprecedented time. From the delivery drivers to the garbage clean-up crews, there are countless individuals who are working tirelessly to maintain vital services and we’re here to say thank you.

How do I spread the word?

Take a picture of your masterpiece, add our #chalkchallenge hashtag, and post it on your social media! Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, all platforms are welcome! If social media isn’t your thing, no problem. Share our mission with your network and friends. If you are connected to educators, public figures, performers, artists, movers, and shakers in your community, send this one-pager to those who might also be inspired to join us. This is all about connecting with each other, sharing our gratitude, and celebrating all the diverse and wonderful ways we can say thank you.”

With love and gratitude,
Ginna & Julia

Step One

Enjoy the sunshine and create some beautiful chalk art! Decorate driveways or sidewalks. Leave a message for your Mailman or Amazon Delivery. Live next door to or have an essential worker in your family? Express your gratitude through a beautiful free art expression.

     

Most important direction, as always: HAVE FUN!  

More resources to follow in the coming days. Feedback and more ideas welcome! 

Above all, be well and stay healthy!

The SolBe Team


Be Supported

We’ve felt the uncertainty that occurs when our children are in the care of someone else. At SolBe, we know you will always be your child’s first teacher; we’re here as a knowledgeable partner in your child’s education.

From our experience, children rise to the intellectual life of those around them, so we are committed to growing as individuals and as a team. You can count on us to provide a warm and engaging learning experience for your little one.

Be Inspired

We’ve spent thousands of hours in classrooms that either overstimulate, underwhelm, or actively prevent educators from delivering the highest-quality education and care. At SolBe, you’ll go beyond the traditional four-walled classroom.

Our award-winning, inventive and uplifting learning spaces stimulate the senses and instill feelings of home-like safety and comfort. They allow for your child’s, and our educators’, changing needs and emotions. They create room for wonder—for learning, and living, outside the lines.

Be Immersed

We’ve seen what’s lost when things are done the way they’ve always been done before. SolBe is an adaptive Spanish exposure program that refuses to accept the status quo.

Our inventive practices grow from the shoulders of giants, with roots in the Reggio Emilia approach, the Montessori method, and well-researched cognitive disciplines that attend to the whole child. We create opportunities to develop character attributes that your child will benefit from for a lifetime. Collaboration. Communication. Independence. Healthy risk-taking. Critical thinking. Emotional awareness. Resilience. Intellectual curiosity. Creative innovation. An authentic love of life and learning.

Be Well

We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.

Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs.
