Our teachers have the freedom to choose themes that fit their classes and are fun and engaging. This week is a good example of having multiple themes at the same time. Our Prek is learning about dinosaurs, our intermediate preschool is learning about fairy tales, and our beginning preschool and toddlers are learning about pirates! www.openarms-ccdc.org
