Stick around a minute, if you don't mind.

While we wait on all of our graduation pictures to come rolling in… let’s talk about HIPPY for a minute!
Seriously. It's worth the read!

HIPPY is a FREE (the BEST part!) home-based preschool program for children ages 2-5.
(Children must be 2 by December 31st to qualify.)

WHAT HIPPY PROVIDES: 💜✨

We do our best to work around YOUR family’s schedule, so don’t let a busy calendar keep you from taking the leap! 🐸

✔️ ALL books, lessons, and supplies are completely FREE!! Yep… FREE! 😲 We provide everything you need for fun, hands-on early learning right at home.

✔️ Super fun monthly group meetings & family events
And guess what? Those are FREE too! 🎉 From learning activities to family fun, we love bringing our HIPPY families together.

OUR LESSONS HELP BUILD:
🔤 Literacy & early reading skills
➕ Early math skills
🧪 Science exploration
✂️ Fine motor skills
🏃 Gross motor skills
🗣️ Communication & social skills

And do you want to know the very best part? 💜
