Your children are all incredible learners, and as Teacher Jillian said during the presentation, their brains are designed to do just that: learn. It is our joy as educators to be along for that process and we will continue to create rich experiences that offer opportunities for them to grow.
Please let your classroom teacher know if you have any questions and we look forward to connecting with our Preschool families soon.
