Bugging Into Summer

Lots of bugs have settled in our Infant/Toddler World. We are so excited they will be with us for the rest of the summer. Our friends have enjoyed being Entomologist so far. We will continue studying different insect lives, their body types, what they eat and their habitats. Please join us in reading lots of bug books to our friends over the next 8 weeks.

Learn more about our summer bug schedule, important dates coming up this month, Infant/Toddler Milestones and all announcements and updates in this month’s newsletter.

 

It’s been a pleasure to watch our friends become pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, and more mature than they were when we started. Watching their personality grow day by day has been the highlight of our year. Thank you for your participation and classroom donations, our first school year was a huge success because of your parent participation!
