The preschool staff along with current and newly enrolled families and those interested in learning more about our programs, are invited to come and play on Tuesdays this summer, once a month.
The purpose of these events is to build community by talking with the teachers and other parents, while their children play, make new friends and see their old friends too! Come to one or all of these events : Tuesday, June 10, Tuesday, July 1 or Tuesday, August 5 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Parents are required to stay during these events.
