Spring is here! The weather is getting nicer, so now is the time of year that we love to be outside. Please keep in mind children should always be dressed appropriately. Although sandals are fashionable, they are not a safe choice of footwear. Children should wear supportive shoes that protect their feet. It is also the time when you should send in a new set of appropriate clothes for us to keep on hand for any emergencies. Have a happy and healthy spring!
