Hello Rodman Families,

This week at the preschool has been filled with lots play and exciting learning activities. Students have been exploring new concepts, making new friends, and developing their skills in a supportive and nurturing environment. We are thrilled to see our little learners grow and thrive each day. Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead full of joy, discovery, and laughter!

"All Are Welcome" is a heartwarming children's book that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the importance of acceptance. Through vibrant illustrations and a touching storyline, the book emphasizes the message that everyone is welcome and valued, regardless of differences. It serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty that can emerge when people come together with open hearts and minds.

Preschool Families, we are looking for volunteers for the Rodman School Council. Members will meet once a month to discuss progress and program goals for the Rodman Early Childhood Program.
