Monthly Updates:
- Thank you to everyone who donated to our natural playground. Whether your donation was monetary, physical labor, materials, or anything in between we could not have done it without you. This community has grown to be something of my dreams and I am so grateful for your support!
- Teacher Appreciation Week is NEXT WEEK May 5th-9th! Teacher Appreciation Week is a special time dedicated to honoring the hard work, dedication, and impact of educators in shaping the lives of your child(ren). It's an opportunity for our families to express gratitude and recognize the individual role our teachers play in fostering learning and growth in your little on. Similar to last year we want to go big to help show our teachers how appreciated they are! If you would like to donate a meal or snack for the week please sign up here. We also would love to create appreciation letter books for each of our staff members. We would love if all the parents could write a brief letter to their child's teachers and email them to [email protected] it would be greatly appreciated! Please have your letters submitted no later than Sunday May 4th! We have only received letters form a few families so please make sure to get them in if you haven't already!

- UPK Reminder: Universal Pre-K only pays facilities for the school year months (August-May). If you are a family currently participating in UPK, please know that for June and July, your tuition will go back to the full preschool rate. Please let me know if you have any questions!
- 2025-2026 School Year: Be on the look out for the new school year's schedule, updated tuition rates, and new classroom schedules that will be released later this month! We are so excited to be able to incorporate more outside time within our classroom schedules with the natural play space🌿
- Spring/Summer Clothes Reminders: With the warmer weather coming in, we will be spending as much time as we can outside! This is a reminder to make sure to still bring a small jacket with your kiddo as mornings can still be a bit crisp and we go out first thing! Also, as our summer outfits start to make their way out please remember that if your child is wearing a dress, they must have shorts or leggings on underneath. We do a lot of active gross motor play here and want to make sure are kiddos are prepared for any activity throughout the day! We also advise against sandals as they are much harder for children to run around and play in. Please let us know if you have any questions, we are so excited for the change in weather!🌞
- Parent/Teacher conferences will be held the week of Memorial Day. A sign-up sheet will be available in a few weeks!
