HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful June! The children had so much fun learning about Fish, Frogs, Father’s Day, Plants, and Flag Day. We hope all of the dad’s had a wonderful Father’s Day. We look forward to a very fun and exciting July!
The End of Year Concert / Graduation was just amazing! The children did a wonderful job and have grown so much this year! We are so proud of them! Your children have worked very hard this past year and have learned a tremendous amount.
We are sad to see the children leave and will greatly miss those who are taking the next step on to Kindergarten. We are excited for this next chapter in their life and the many new adventures! We would like to thank everyone for attending and being a part of a very special day.
Everyday at circle time we will be reviewing numbers, letters, 
colors, shapes and our daily songs, we will also be learning about the Fourth of July, Fish, Summer Fruits, Insects and the Beach. We will be doing many projects and crafts and tasting all kinds of summer fruit. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday!
**TODDLERS will be picked up at WHITE DOOR (Toddler Class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
It is with great pleasure that Miss Dawn’s Child Care “Summer Camp” begins July 8th. The children truly enjoy it! Hopefully everyone will participate in this wonderful event for it to be successful.
