Activity of the Month
While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. - Angela Schwindt
We know parents and teachers are always looking for new ways to engage children while teaching them the basic skills they need. Each month, we will provide fun activities that enhance their self-help, cognitive and social development skills. Learning doesn’t have to be dull. The best part is that children won’t even recognize this time as school work!
