Seasons Greetings!

Luce Road Daycare's Toddler Preschool School Experience had a full day of holiday spirit, academic learning, and craft rotations. Students moved through each station practicing following directions, taking turns, using kind words, and showing their ROARS. Students had the opportunity to enjoy music and movement, painting, and hands-on activities that strengthened fine motor and gross motor skills. To top it off, our Cubs made special treats for Santa and his reindeer, and they were so proud to share their creations!
