Summer Fun!

It is hard to believe that last week we wrapped up our ECFE classes and in just a few short days our preschool classes will end for the summer. Getting to know you and your child has been a highlight of the year for our staff. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to work with all of the families who participated in our program. We hope that you and your child have learned lots and made new friends.

With summer vacation fast approaching, we want to leave you with some resources to carry you through the summer.
