What's new in April?

April's theme is:   Getting Ready for Spring!

We look forward to warmer days and rain puddles to stomp!

Please make sure children have extra changes of clothes and appropriate gear: Sun hats, Full body waterproof rain gear, rain boots, and mittens.

We invite you to join us for our Purim Carnival, March 20th, in costume or casual.
Purim is the festival of Queen Esther, an ancient Jewish queen that was courageous enough to stand up to the wicked Haman and save her people.
We celebrate by dressing up in costumes, making noise with graggers, and eating hamantaschen.

Learn how to make your own graggers and hamantaschen here.
