During the school months (September through May), each month we focus
on a theme and learn letters, numbers, colors, shapes, songs, community worker focus, finger plays, poems, etc. It's
fun!
During the summer months (June through August), we have a weekly theme
that includes a field trip and/or activity and related project(s). This allows us plenty of time to play outside, go
to the park, go on picnics, play in the water, etc. Just have lots of summer fun!
