We enjoyed coming together to celebrate the many contributions Hispanic and Latino communities have made—and continue to make—to the history, culture, and richness of the United States. What a wonderful celebration of heritage, community, and connection! ❤️

Our preschoolers became little herb explorers today! 🌿 We learned that rosemary, chives, and dill can grow in gardens and be used in foods we eat. The children used their senses to smell, touch, and taste each herb with cream cheese, discovering the unique flavors and scents of each one. What a fun way to learn about plants and healthy foods!
