Dear Parents,
 
What we are learning?

We hope you are having a beautiful week. Summer has started and so have fun days with our Splash days. This week the children will learn everything about being little chefs.
 
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences while playing with water in our Splash days that will take on Tuesday and Thursday and being in the outdoors. They will also participate in our Sunglasses and Fashion Parade Days. 
 
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
 
Miss Jeannette & Miss Natalia
