The infants love sensory play, so we will be enjoying all kinds this month!

Preschool- Spring is upon us already and we’re finally starting to see some glimpses of nicer weather. The children are excited to be rid of their bulky winter clothes. However, with milder weather comes plenty of wet days. Since we are outside twice a day, we encourage parents to send plenty of extra clothes, especially socks, and remember to bring home any wet items to dry.
We are looking forward to exploring some more adventurous play and really honing our Gross Motor Skills. The children are excitedly awaiting Easter and we are planning lots of fun spring themed activities in the coming weeks.
On Thursday April 18th we are expecting an exciting surprise visit from some small & furry friends, as well as our annual Easter egg hunt. The children are welcome to bring along a basket to school for egg collecting.
