Message From the Principal:
April is one of my favorite months of the year! Why you ask? I love April because of the warm weather, children can go outside more often to enjoy nature and strength their gross motor skills. It’s hard to believe that there are only 2 and a half months left until the 2018-2019 school year is over. BCDS teachers are gearing your children to a successful end of the year. Time is flying and summer will be here in no time…Don’t let your preschooler miss the opportunity to “Connect with a Summer of Fun” and your school agers to Discover a Summer of exploring and creating new adventures with us. Reserve your child’s spot NOW…We look forward for a Summer of Fun!!!
Summer program brochures and registration forms are now available in our website… please go to Programs/Camp Section.
