Attention Pre-K Parents: Due to multiple positive cases over the weekend, some as recent as a few hours ago, the health department has recommended we close the preschool for two weeks. Our teachers are currently in the process of contacting parents. Please monitor your child for any symptoms. We understand the inconvenience this causes families and we appreciate everyone for being flexible. The Early Learning Center will reopen Monday, September 13th.
