Big smiles, excited waves, and a little bit of nervous anticipation filled the air as some of our preschoolers had the opportunity to ride on a school bus today! 🚌👋

This special experience helps them to become familiar with riding the bus and prepares them for the exciting transition to school in September. From finding a seat to learning bus safety, our young learners enjoyed every moment of this important milestone. We are so proud of their confidence and enthusiasm as they take this big step on their learning journey!
