We had an absolutely FANTABULOUS Grandparents’ Day last Thursday! The preschool welcomed over 100 grandparents and special visitors and the children enjoyed showing off their classrooms and singing a short presentation of songs. A huge thank you to everyone for making this day such a special event.

The children performed their songs so well at Grandparents’ Day and now they are preparing to sing them again for YOU at our Happy Birthday Jesus Party. This is a HUGE event and definitely an event that you will NOT want to miss! (see details below in the Upcoming Events section).

There are several BIG events and happenings this month. Please be sure to read about them here to stay in the loop! 🙂
