A Note from Our Principal 

Thank you for your wonderful support in celebrating our amazing teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week last month. We’re so grateful for our team and the care and guidance they bring to our school each day. As we step into a new season, we’re looking forward to summer sunshine, exciting on-site visits, and all the fun activities ahead. We’re ready to embrace the adventure!

Sincerely,

Don’t Forget to Re-enroll for Next School Year! 

Thank you to our families who have already secured their re-enrollment for the upcoming school year. Our classrooms are filling quickly and our teachers have already started to plan exciting new activities for next year. For those who have not yet registered, we urge you to complete the re-enrollment process as soon as possible to guarantee your child’s spot. 

Summer Reminders

Please provide us with a non-aerosol sunscreen labeled with your child’s name. On water play days, please bring a change of dry clothes, shoes, and a towel. Closed-toe shoes are strongly encouraged to keep our little ones’ toes safe!

Summer Vacation

Will your family be taking a summer vacation? Don’t forget to let us know at least two weeks in advance so you can use your vacation credit!

Family Referral Bonus

Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!

School Age Summer Camp

Registration for a summer of adventure is open, but spots are filling fast! There is nothing that compares to watching your child’s confidence grow and seeing them have fun and make friends. By enrolling, you’re giving them a summer they’ll never forget. Stop by the front desk to learn more!
