Teaching Children about Personal Safety Parent Workshop on March 29th at 6pm. I feel very strongly about this particular workshop. As your children grow up and venture out into the world, they must have strong safety skills. This workshop will cover ages and stages of child development and what children should know in order to keep themselves safe. It goes way beyond "don't talk to strangers."

March 13th-17th

Pre-K will start the week learning about rainbows and the sound of /Zz/. We will make a tissue paper rainbow, practicing our fine motor skills and color recognition skills.
