Every class celebrates this day a little differently.

Please check with your child's teachers if you have questions about the activites for that day.

Also, please know that the celebrations will be low-key and safe.

Parent Night for the Twos and Threes

Parent Night for the 2s3s class will be Tuesday, October 25th, at 6:30 pm.

This will be a great time for the parents in this class to spend some time with their child's teachers and the other parents.

We ask that you do not bring your children that night. There is a list of our college students that babysit, both in the cottage and the office, if you need one.

Staff Development Day
