And that's a wrap! Thank you to all the families who attended our Holiday Pageant today! From finding Santa, and jingling our bells, to letting our little lights shine, the children all did a fantastic job with this year's show! We had beautiful angels, adorable animals with their shepherds, and an amazingly cute retelling of the story of Jesus. We hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday break, and look forward to seeing you all in the coming new year!

⏰Daylight Saving Time⏰️
️
We don't like it in spring when it takes the extra hour away, but it gives us so much more sunshine in which to run and play!

In the Fall, clocks move 1 hour back, by 5pm, the sky is black! We miss the sunshine, but no need to weep, the clocks going back mean an extra hour of sleep!

So don't forget before you go to bed, set those clocks back an hour, sleepyhead!

11/02/2024

Welcome to November! It's hard to believe that we have already been in school for two full months! We are thankful for each and everyone of our families and staff, past and present, who have made our school such a wonderful place!

The program serves the whole child through the development of the individual child’s social, emotional, spiritual, physical, creative, and cognitive growth.

Play involves all types of learning and development: self-esteem, socialization, cooperation, curiosity, problem solving, creative expressive, and cognitive learning.
