Spring Has Sprung…fun home learning activities for preschoolers.
Despite the rain we have had all the signs that Spring is here. The buds are popping up, birds are chirping, lambs race around the fields. Now it’s time for us to get outside and explore a different aspect of nature. There are so many experiences for new language, life cycles to explore and ways…
Moving On…saying goodbye.
