Most importantly of all, we learn how we are all special and how to treat one another.

We also love getting creative in Squirrel Class. Through art and music, children will be encouraged to express themselves and explore their imagination. In PE, we’ll be developing a wide range of skills through gymnastics, ball games, invasion games, dance, and more.
