Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊🦦

Today we’re celebrating our oceans, the animals who call them home, and the little learners who will help shape a brighter future.

At our school, we believe kindness extends beyond the classroom — to our friends, families, communities, and the world around us.

Looking for a simple way to celebrate with your child today? Try reading a book about ocean animals, taking a family walk to pick up litter, using a reusable water bottle, or talking about why clean water matters.

Small moments like these help children build curiosity, kindness, and care for the world around them. 💙

It’s Child Safety Week! 🛡️

Safety starts with the small things we practice every day: holding hands in the parking lot, walking feet in the classroom, kind reminders from teachers, and knowing when to ask a trusted adult for help.

We’re proud to create a safe, caring environment where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

We will be closed on Monday, May 25th, in observance of Memorial Day. We look forward to seeing you when we reopen for normal business hours on Tuesday!
