Center of Excellence Preschool and Learning Center

We had a blast at our annual harvest celebration last week! This was a great time for everyone to come together to share ideas, make crafts, and decorate cookies. While we celebrated the changing of seasons, we also held parent engagement at the core of this event. And, of course, there was lots of candy!

The kids filled their bags with sweets as they went trick-or-treating around First Covenant Church Minneapolis and received treats from staff at Trellis Management and East Town Apartments. We appreciate our neighbors for putting a smile on the children's faces. It was amazing!

You might be wondering if you should you send your child to school according to your school's calendar recommendation? Or wait a year to improve their readiness? The decision goes beyond their birth date. Educators also consider a child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.
