Summer Camp

Our Summer Camp is coming to an end on Wednesday, August 15th. Many of our children are getting ready to transition into new rooms and our teachers are preparing for an amazing fall full of exciting new learning experiences.

WOW....Look at Our Garden Grow!

Herbs, herbs, and more herbs!

Just unbelievable.....our children and teachers took really good care of our garden this year!

PreSchool Planter Garden

 Our PreSchool Planters are growing well.  We have green beans and tomatoes! 

Adding the finishing touches to our Synergistic Garden


Synergistic Garden

Our School Group created our synergistic garden.  They dug up the ground, made mounds, covered them with cardboard and straw and used mulch and cement tiles to create a pathway through the garden.  Then the children planted flowers, vegetable plants, and herbs to create an eyecatching landscape in the middle of our site.
