the children are welcome to bring toys to play with, however, we will not allow water guns. please feel free to talk to Maryam if you have any questions. we are looking forward to some fun in the sun!!!!!

making a difference

in the main hallway we have put up all of our pre-k children's projects that they have worked so hard on, to show everyone how much passion they have about getting clean water to the world. they know all about how to build wells & they want to raise enough money for mr.lopez to go with living water international to build one in guatemala. so far we have collected about $374.00, the children are so proud of themselves & all the awareness they're raising. they know they can can do this, they're comittited to giving clean water to a village in gutemala!!! if you would like to donate we have a bucket on the front desk by the check-in computer or we also have a sponser sheet that the children have made if you'd like to pick one up to take to work or ask your neighbors... we appreciate eveyone's continued support to these awesome children who are going to save this world :)

Spring Garden

Springtime is here and we are ready to get our garden in tip-top shape!

All of the kids at Little Wonders got together to work in the garden! They used their compost to prepare the soil and then planted the vegetables, fruit, and flowers that they brought from home!

We all can't wait to see how our garden will grow!

Boxes!

We had so much fun with boxes today!

"What can I do with this box?"

"I know! I can put it on my head!"

"I wonder if these toys will fit in there?"

"Look! I can sit in my box!"

"Peek-a Boo!"

"I can fit in my box too!"

"Um.. I am not sure if I want to sit in my box."
