Message from our Director: Time flies! We have fun filled festivities planned this month, join us Saturday Dec 2nd as we take part in the Riverside South Toy Mountain Parade starting at 1pm at St. Jerome and ending at Bernard Grand-Maître. The classes will be performing their annual Christmas concerts and will host a pot luck event; sign-up sheets will be posted a week prior to the concert date.We will also be collecting food donations for two Christmas hampers and I will post the list of needed items on the parent board and on our closed Facebook page.
Just a reminder to all parents that we are closed from Dec 23rd and reopened Jan 2nd.
Miss Cheryl will also have a variety of fun treats to give the children during the last 2 weeks before Christmas.
Our Owners-As we approach the Holiday Season, we just want to thank our Tiny Hoppers parents for all the kind words, notes and emails that we have received since purchasing in February of this year!
