Outdoor Education Fieldtrip Opportunity
|
 By day we are a Preschool & Childcare facility. By afternoon, we offer fieldtrips to share what we can learn from nature.
Here are just a few things you can do:
- Experience our outdoor education classroom. Our nature center includes a large, fenced in area for kids to safely encounter nature. We catch leaves, and snowflakes, and dig in the
dirt. - Hike on our nature trail. We have over 18 acres of land that is home to many animals
- Trees are tapped for sap in late Winter. We then boil it for syrup.
- Visit the owl's nest. We expect owlets to hatch mid-March. They will be grown up and leave the nest by the end of May or early June. Learn all about owls, from our resident expert, Mr. Boris.
Fieldtrip times available year-round.

| Teaching the Faith Workshops |
*** STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR THE APRIL 25 AND MAY 1 WORKSHOPS ***
Please share with your early childhood teachers, PS-2nd grade.
2016 Teaching the Faith Workshops
South Wisconsin District Early Childhood Education Committee
and Concordia University Wisconsin
"JOYFULLY WALKING WITH OUR LORD!"
By living in faith we find JOY!!
Whether we feel sad or happy, we can still Joyfully walk with the Lord. As we praise and thank God for the many blessings and gifts He gives us, we remember the greatest gift - His Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
During Lent and Easter, we celebrate our Lord who died and rose again so that we will forever! Can you imagine the JOY Jesus' disciples felt when they realized they were again able to walk with their Friend, their Savior, and their King?
We pray you will be eager to inspire your young students and their families to live in JOY as they grow and learn; praising their Savior and telling others about Him!
