    Classroom of the Week

    During the month of May, one of our preschool classrooms focused on careers and the many different occupations adults have! They had many parent visitors come and discuss with the children what their job includes and provide applicable hands-on activities.

    Our preschoolers were able to enhance many of their learning skills including their ability to actively explore, understand cause and effect, listen intently to the presenters, participate in conversations, and ask appropriate questions.
