Today was family reading day at the Jacksonville Public Library, and we invited our VPK students to check out their artwork on display at the ELC VPK Art Showcase!
They were so excited to find their “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” pieces and show them off to their families. We are so proud of them!

What a magical St. Patrick’s Day at Little Britches! ☘️✨

We set our leprechaun traps and it looks like one stopped by… because he left behind some sneaky messes and a few fun surprises! The kids were so excited to find Lucky Charms with green milk and rainbow playdough waiting for them 🌈💚

Did your child tell you about the leprechaun’s visit today? ☘️
