Fall has arrived, and we’re excited to enjoy the season together!

With colorful leaves, pumpkins, cozy crafts, and plenty of opportunities for creativity, autumn gives families so many ways to play and explore. Whether it’s enjoying the changing colors outdoors, trying simple pumpkin‑themed fun, getting hands‑on with paint, or diving into seasonal play dough, fall invites children to use all their senses. Even classic moments—like raking leaves—become chances for movement, teamwork, and joy.

We’re looking forward to sharing a variety of fall‑inspired activities that celebrate the season and spark curiosity in little learners.

Please bring your ID to enter the building during school hours.
