Parent Info Meeting Day was a BIG success!

We are so thankful for every family who came out, participated, asked questions, and helped make the day so special. It was a joy to see children learning, creating, exploring, and having fun together.

We are excited for what God is building through Ark Discovery Institute and grateful for the families walking with us in this vision!
