As we wrap up March and head into April, we will be wrapping up some of our last visits with families. In addition, some of our friends will be heading into kindergarten this summer. We will miss seeing your child during visits, but we hope that we can be a support to you and your family during this new transition. Take a look at our May group connection and come join us to celebrate the end of the school year picnic on the playground!
