Breakfast with Moms
Breakfast with Mom is always a precious way to start the day for preschoolers and their Moms. A delicious breakfast together at school followed by group photos and special time together in the classroom makes this a memorable day for children and their Moms.
Breakfast with Dads
It is a special day when Dads come for breakfast with our preschoolers!! Breakfast choices including muffins, bagels, biscuits with sausage, and fruits are delicious to eat with Dad. After breakfast and group photos, children take their Dads to their classrooms to do some fun activities together.
Fall Festival / Fall Book Fair
The Fall Festival is an annual tradition in the preschool. Fall craft activities and seasonal games are organized by parents for all the preschoolers to enjoy. Parents can also shop at the Fall Book Fair with their children. Profits from the Book Fair are dedicated to the purchase of additional nonfiction books for our preschool library collection.
