✨ 📚First Friday Reader Spotlight 📚✨

Today, we welcomed two special guest readers - our very own Wonders educators!✨

Kyria Woodard, Program Director at Wonders Extended Day at Bethesda Elementary School, visited our Early Learning Program at Edgemoor and read “All the Water in the World” to the Dolphins classroom.

Eryn Mitchell, Program Director at Wonders Extended Day at Chevy Chase Elementary School, joined our Early Learning Program at Leland and read “Interrupting Chicken” to the Butterflies classroom.

These visits gave our early learners a chance to connect with educators they may see again as they transition to kindergarten, helping build familiarity and excitement for the next step in their educational journey.

Thank you, Kyria and Eryn, for reading with us today! ❤️📖
