Our official preschool classes have ended for the year, but if you would still like to bring your child for learning and play to finish off our preschool year, I will host Learning Playdates on the following dates. Learning Playdates will run similarly to our preschool days, but with a new baby added to our mix our schedule will be more relaxed and the cost is per day vs. per month. Learning Playdates are completely optional.
