🩵 Our Group Connecter was full of Earth Day fun! 🌎

Little ones explored the outdoors, worked together to find bugs, and enjoyed a themed snack—“dirt” with gummy worms! We also loved hearing parents share positive praise and encouragement, making the day so special. The group wrapped up with a reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a story everyone enjoyed. 🌱✨
