Savvy Source's Comments
There will be monthly activities geared to allow the children the opportunity to experience their world through structured activities. These activities will consist of trips to the library, gymnastics, swimming lessons and other activities that enhance the physical, social and emotional development of your child. Parental involvement is encouraged-daily because it helps to further the overall success for each of our children. Extracted from Butterflies 2006 Flier
