We are excited to offer a new after-school enrichment opportunity this fall for our 4s and Top Dogs. Join Miss Beth this Fall in Step, Skip & Leap, a preschool music enrichment class. We will meet in the fall to explore the many ways God loves the world. "God Loves the World" based on John 3:16, invites children to explore how God expresses love to us and how we should respond. God's love embraces all people in all places, and we find fulfillment in loving all that God loves. Fun songs and activities from around the world bring creativity to your child's time with us each week.
