This week, Costello Principal Tammy DiPonio shared the following story: Creativity and team effort emerged on the playground this week as students sharpened their sticks to "mine" the ice. This play captured many students' interest, they had so much fun and you could see their minds and hands hard at work! At first, adults might want to encourage them to find something else to do, but when you step in to watch and talk with them about their play you appreciate their imagination and start to envision them as engineers, builders, and designers!!

Enrollment for the GSRP Program opened on January 1, 2025. This is for children aged 4. To enroll, please visit https://www.miecc.org/MiECC/application/add/63.

Enrollment for the TSD Tuition-Based Preschool opens on March 3, 2025.
