Looking to get rid of old shoes? Looks no further! We’re looking to add to our dress up clothes. The kids have been loving dancing with tap shoes and playing pretend.
Community Snack Updates
We will doing a signup genius each week for fresh fruits and vegetables. We are asking that these items are not washed, peeled, or cut to prolong their life. We will do that here. Every two weeks (or when supplies get low) there will be another signup genius for bulk pantry items. All pantry items need to be store bought and in the original packaging. Please no goldfish or apples, we've had too many.

Things to Practice at Home
It might be quicker for you to zip up your child's jacket, but taking a few extra minutes to teach self-help skills will lead to building self-confidence.
- Get their jacket on and off without help.
- Use the restroom and wash their hands.
- Cover their mouth when sneezing or coughing.
- Drink from a cup and open a juice box.
- Operate zippers, snaps, and buttons.
- Properly use eating utensils.
- Clean up after themselves.
