LOOKING FOR GOOD HELP!!!

In Search of Competent Help!!!

Mrs. Johnson is hard at work! We are grateful for the families who registered this week and feel privileged to be a part of their child's early education, anticipating a successful year ahead.

National Call to Action

Classroom 2- Ms. Ellis and Mrs. Blunt
They celebrated the "Week of the Young Child" in the most colorful way—tie-dye style!

Our preschoolers got creative with their very own t-shirts, turning white cotton into bright, swirly masterpieces. Each one is as unique and joyful as the little artist who made it!

Last week was all about honoring the magic of childhood, and what better way than with messy hands, big smiles, and a rainbow of memories!

Today the preschoolers got moo-ved to learn cow milking... and let's just say, the cow was 'udderly' patient. One child tried to name it 'Milk Machine.' Another asked if chocolate milk comes from the brown ones. Farm life = chaos, giggles, and a whole lot of mooing!
