Early Childhood Students Share Learning During Curricular Events

Our Early Childhood preschoolers had a blast sharing their learning with family and friends during their curricular events!  The engaging exhibitions featured games and workstations that explored various aspects of the students' learning.  Our 3-year-old children presented their studies on exercise, human anatomy and physiology, dentistry and nutrition while our 4-year-old students showcased works of art made during their exploration of photography, mosaics, sculpture and painting.
