In all the craziness and dates that were listed last week, we want to be sure you didn’t miss this update:
The second session of our Little Fingers (ages 3-6) and Busy Hands (7-12) fine motor skills classes begins next week. If you’re currently enrolled (and want to continue) or want to join up, e-mail us now, so we can ensure your placement. We’ve heard great things from the first session of our program, such as teachers noticing imrpovements in handwriting and how program tasks are dovetailing nicely with IEP goals. Don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of this great program.
Also, we hope to see you Sunday at our First(ish) Anniversary Celebration. We’ve had a great year at this new location and can’t wait to celebrate our success with everyone who makes up our fantastic community. The festivities begin at 11 a.m.!
