Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Warm, loving environment for young children. 4 veteran early childhood teachers and a site with very little staff turnover. Clean, inviting, and stimulating setting. Wonderful caring relationships with the children. Play based and developmentally appropriate activities, field trips, and ample outdoor time. Great communication with parents and families. Cohesive parent community. Highly recommended.

For Parents: Reminding Ourselves to be Grateful Too
Parents spend a lot of time reminding their children to say please and thank you. “What do you say?” is one those refrains we never thought we’d hear ourselves say…and yet, we say it all the time. But what about the flip side? How often do we remind ourselves

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?
View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.
Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
1. Mix the strawberries and lemonade concentrate in a blender until smooth and thick. 2. Gradually add ginger ale. 3. Transfer the beverage to a punch bowl. Stir in any remaining ginger ale and the raisins. Place the gummy worms on the rim of the bowl for a swampy effect. Older kids love to help with the stirring and bugs. Makes 10 servings.
