Our continuing focus this school year is:
The Sublime –
In the Flow of Learning ~~~Inquiring, Discovering, Making Meaning
Sparking Ideas! ~~~ With Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Pre-K Children
The Festival of Learning month of May was filled with many different events and opportunities for C5 children to have new experiences, have fun, and learn and develop in new ways! It was also a special opportunity for the C5 staff, parents, families, and the community to continue to support the children and to learn even more from them in the process!
Raffle
We raised $13,420 for our scholarship fund!
