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.
