Lots of pre-Mother’s Day celebrations/events this week in our Preschool and RAP programs. For example, today in Tiny Tots, the kids sang a couple songs for the moms, grandmas, aunties, etc. The kids and parents painted on canvas', and wrapped up the celebration by releasing butterflies after raising them from egg to butterfly. Overall, it was a wonderful celebration!
