In an attempt to provide equal opportunities to families in Frederick County, groups will be filled with first time participants and then the waiting list will be used to fill groups as needed. On March 14, 2025, families are encouraged to come to our Open House to meet their teacher and to see the classroom.

Each session will feature a new theme and plenty of opportunities for dramatic play, hands-on activities, and creative fun.
