We are thrilled to welcome 7 chicks to the preschool family! Our students were amazed to see that the eggs they’ve been watching are now adorable new friends. Visiting the chicks is now a favorite part of the day. Everyone is also enjoying the magic of spring on the playground 🌼 🛝 🌺

This week our 3s held their annual Teddy Bear Clinic and were so excited to give their stuffies a full checkup! We had some real life health professionals teach us about how to stay healthy and how to do fun things like listen to heartbeats and check the temperature of our special patients.
Thank you so much for coming to visit us!

And coming soon are some new additions to our preschool family! Hint: they’re FLUFFY and YELLOW 😉
Stay tuned!

The 3s classes took their first field trip this week and learned all about what the library has to offer! Our friends at the Smithtown Library’s Nesconset Building took us on a tour all around, including into the back rooms where books are prepared to go out on the shelves and areas of the library like the reference desk and of course the children’s room. They enjoyed some story time and then had a fantastic play session with the library’s toys. We had so much fun! Thank you to the wonderful staff at Smithtown Library Kids for a great time. Very special thanks to the extra helping hands who joined us this week! 📖 📚 ❤️
