Another outstanding event we had with one of our wonderful providers. We love to play in VPK especially when we’re learning and don’t realize it.
School starts August 12 and spots are filling up fast, so if you haven’t already make sure you enroll your child(ren) for VPK.
Beginning July 29 through August 11, Florida families can take the opportunity to purchase and save money on back-to-school supplies. Save on backpacks, clothes, supplies and even computers. 👟👕👖📕🖍✂️

We had an outstanding time at our Jammin To The Summer event with Schmidt's Music. The children were able to learn about the different instruments and how they are used, and they were also able to play a few of the instruments. Oh, how great did they sound!! Being able to learn new things while having fun is the way to go! 🎷🎺🪗🎸🎻🎼
