Director’s Corner This year is quickly coming to an end and we have had such a wonderful year with your child! Each of them has matured so much and it is a joy to watch them interact with peers and adults, problem solve, role play, praise God, and just love life and God’s beautiful world. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help them lay their educational and spiritual foundations. Dads and Grandpas, thank you for joining us for a fun filled morning of Father’s Day activities. There was so much laughter and love as the children engaged in some special time with you. Thank you for taking the time to create those special memories. To those of you who will be moving on to kindergarten, we wish you the best. Keep being good listeners and helpers. Please feel free to drop by to visit us, we’d love to see you.
