What a wonderful time we had welcoming our Sunshine Preschool families for our Open House!

Our families enjoyed inflatables, fellowship, and time together, followed by our parent meeting and a special presentation on the Pyramid Model.

We loved having the opportunity to share how the Pyramid Model helps us support children’s social-emotional development, positive relationships, and success in the classroom, while also learning how we can partner with and support our families throughout the school year.

Thank you to all of our Sunshine families for joining us and for being such an important part of our preschool community! We’re looking forward to a bright and wonderful year together! Together, we’re helping our little ones!
