Better late than never, in Ms. Cruz’s prek dual language class, the month of February was for learning about contributions from black Americans, looking beyond the color of someone’s skin and valuing skill, knowledge ambition and triumph and equality #prekcan #blackhistorymonth

¿Sabia que nuestro programa de prekinder forma parte de la escuela pública y no tiene costo adicional? ¿Porque no aprovechar e inscribir a su peque en nuestra Academia de dos idiomas. Es el regalo más bonito que se le puede brindar a los niños. ¡Darle like y compartir por favor!
