As the cold continues to nip at our noses and the preschool children are bundled up; we are anxiously waiting for the arrival of the groundhog to see if there will be six more weeks of winter!

We are welcoming in the month of February with our “ Muffins for Mom “ event on February 1^st. What a wonderful way to start the day with Moms muffins, songs and a story about all the wonderful things that our mommies do with us everyday.

In our classrooms; we are studying about the groundhog and the concept of shadows. We are continuing to be the more “cultured” preschool with Miss Pam introducing the children to different genres of art and Miss Babette exposing the children to classical music by various composers.

If you walk down the preschool hallways in late February; you will probably smell the fragrant aroma of freshly baked hamentaschen and hear the shaking of groggers as the name Haman is mentioned. The preschool children will be busy learning about Purim and all the customs and traditions that go along with the holiday; culminating in our annual Purim carnival on February 26^th. A great way to end the month!
