It was a bittersweet day at Valley Preschool. Despite the heat and humidity, many friends and their families came to celebrate the one and only, Ms. Desiree.

THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by and/or sent well wishes…

And, it’s not “goodbye”, Ms. Desiree, but rather, “see you later”.

💜 💛 💜

Summer is off to a GREAT start!

We love welcoming back friends to camp each year…together with friends is the BEST!

Session 2 begins next week!

☀️ 💦 🍦

Today is bittersweet as it is Ms. Desiree’s LAST TEACHING DAY.

(Thankfully, she lives within walking distance so it is by no means “goodbye”!)

Ms. Desiree, thank you for bringing the light, the laughter and an attitude of positivity each and every day. You WILL be greatly missed, but above all you will be remembered for the years together.

We are grateful…THANK YOU!

💜 💛 💜 💛 💜

Our Gala has been POSTPONED to fall…maycember is in full force! Thank you to ALL for your support.

🎓 CONGRATULATIONS to the Valley Preschool class of 2026! 🎓

They are off to accomplish BIG things, and we are grateful we got to bear witness to the immense growth they experienced during these first few years of the educational journey.

They will be missed but we know it’s not “goodbye” but, rather, “see you later” as they will forever remain a part of the Valley family.

Congrats, friends! ❤️ 🎓 🎉

Cheers to these AMAZING MAMAS.

Friends in our Fireflies, Adventurers and Explorers classes are beyond lucky to be able to call these women, “Mom”, and we enjoyed celebrating them at the final three annual Mothers’ Tea events. 🫖 🩷

To ALL moms/mamas/grandmas AND greats: here’s to YOU.

💐 💕

We’re all about traditions at VPS, and today we were able to enjoy a(nother) very special one. 💐

Moms of preschoolers in our Honey Bees and Little Explorers classes were invited in to celebrate an early Mother’s Day treat:

Mothers’ Tea!

It is a highlight of every year…💕💜🥰
