Our Pre-K students enjoyed a beautiful day on the playground! From climbing to sliding, their laughter filled the air as they explored and played together.

It’s heartwarming to see their friendships grow as they share these joyful moments. Here’s to more sunny days ahead!

Today was an exciting day for our Kindergarten students in Ms. Stacie's Class! They visited the library where they learned some important skills:

1️⃣ How to mark a page without damaging the book 📝
2️⃣ The best ways to care for their beloved books ❤️

The highlight? Each student got to check out a book to take home and share with their family! 🏡📖 We can't wait to hear about the adventures they discover in their new stories!

We kicked off the school year with lots of smiles and energy!


Take a look at one of our Kindergarten classrooms! Our kindergarteners jumped right into learning by practicing their names. This is a big step towards building confidence and independence. Additionally, they worked on learning classroom procedures and routines, helping to set the foundation for a successful school year ahead. It was wonderful to see students already engaged, curious and eager to learn! We cannot wait to watch them grow this year!
