We are off to a great start with our early learning programs and events with our Little Braves and their families! We enjoyed the Fabulous Five Senses Open Gym Series and Valentine's Day Party! We also hosted our Braves Winter Book Club Series "Things that Go!" exploring fun-filled ways to learn about vehicles and what they do! The Kick Off to Kindergarten Event was held on February 3rd where our incoming kindergarten learners had the chance to enjoy a variety of fun learning activities and games. They also had a blast signing their "Commitment Letter" to become a PV Brave next year! We are looking forward to our spring programs and plan to offer Open Gym sessions, a new Baby Braves Club, a Spring Book Club, and transition activities for incoming kindergarteners.

For more information and to register for programs see below.

Located at the Together Community Center, this activity is open to any child of any school district. This is a play and learn program for our young learners and caregivers. The goal of this program is to provide a space for our Little Braves to play, run, sing, participate in group circle time, and enjoy a small snack. For our caregivers this is a time to enjoy play with your little ones, meet other caregivers, socialize, learn about child development, and connect/learn about the PV district and community resources.

Open gym will be held on Wednesday mornings from 10am-11am, March 5th- 26th.

Note: Pre-registration is not required but you will be asked to complete a Brave Kids Learning Center Program Waiver.
