We are thrilled to share that our Mandarin Program Open House was a great success, both online and in person! It was wonderful to connect with so many families, answer questions, and showcase the strengths of our awesome program. We are incredibly grateful to the families who helped spread the word and shared their positive experiences—your support truly made a difference. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this event such a meaningful and engaging experience for our community.

End of Day Late pickups 

Please call the office before 2:00 pm Monday to Thursday and 11:30 on Fridays if you are going to be late, pick your child up early, or if they are walking home with a friend.  The office gets very very busy towards the end of the day and normally there is only one person that opens the door, answers the phone, and supports the children with bandages, ice, care bucks and any last-minute emergency that arises.  Thank you for your support and consideration. 

Energy Club 

We are excited to welcome back our energy club.  Students who want to participate in 20 minutes of physical activity prior to school are welcome to attend.  We are only able to provide 1 adult for this activity (running, dancing, cooperative games), so we ask that only students who are able to engage in activity without support attend. This is not early daycare, rather physical activity to help students turn their brain on prior to academic learning.
