We are learning about our Community Helpers!
What a wonderful day we had on our walking trip around our community! Our preschoolers had so much fun learning about the amazing people and businesses that help make our community special.
We started our adventure at SFCU, where they read us a story, taught us about saving money, and even treated us to ice cream for snack and gave each child a goodie bag!
We then visited our local barbershop, stopped at NBT Bank where we got to see the vault, and took a tour through the Post Office and the Hancock Herald.
Our adventure continued with a stop at Tops, where we learned more about our local grocery store, and Walgreens, where we got to see the pharmacists at work.
And then came a very special and unexpected surprise! We met a New York State Trooper, who was so kind and took the time to show our preschoolers around his patrol car. The kids got to see the lights and hear the siren, and even learn about some of the equipment inside the car. What an exciting way to end our day!
It was such a fun day filled with learning, exploring, walking, and meeting the wonderful community helpers who take care of our town. We are so thankful to everyone who welcomed us, spent time with us, and made our walking trip so memorable!
Our little learners had a BIG day in our community!
