Message From the Principal:
Is incredible how time has flown by, we are already in May which means that are only six weeks left for the 2018-2019 school year. This year has been full of learning experiences for the children. The time when I see my pre-k and kindergarten students leave to the big school, is getting closer. It is a mix feeling time for me as a principal. From one part, I am happy to know that I had the privilege to be part of their growing process, but I am sad as well as I might not see them as often as I would love to. Their morning hugs and happy faces are the ones that make what I do worth it
My staff and I are working to make this time left even more memorable for children and families!
Summer program brochures and registration forms are now available in our website… please go to Programs/Camp Section.
