The Fall Festival and Book Fair was a great success thanks to the efforts and support of preschool parents! Thank you! If you have pictures to share from the festival you can upload them here.

There are two great opportunities for parents coming up in the next couple of weeks: Don't miss the Positive Parenting workshop on Nov. 8 with Dr. Kelly Gfroerer to get tools to meet the challenges of parenting today. Then, on Nov. 15, Anne Trask provides an overview of DUMCP's Fours (Pre-K) and Kindergarten programs. If you've wondered about how our programs compare to Georgia Pre-K or Kindergarten, then mark your calendar for this presentation.

Lastly, 2024-2025 Admissions Tours kick off on Nov. 30. The positive word-of-mouth from our current preschool families is the best way to bring new families on board. Please help spread the word! Interested families can sign up for tours using this link.

Have a great week!
