This week’s big success was our Day Care Christmas Song performance. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who joined us and helped make the event so special for the children. Your support means a great deal and really helps build our nursery community.

We would also like to give a special thank you to Matt Finchman for playing the keyboard so beautifully, and to Aimee for guiding parents and children with the songs and signs. The children were so proud of themselves and it was a joy to share this moment with you.
