Winter Fun and Gingerbread Houses

We have had so much fun learning about winter and enjoying holiday festivities!  Harmony Preschoolers have been busy decorating gingerbread houses, trimming the tree, experimenting with ice and much much more.  We wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season.

Book list for Winter Fun

We at Harmony Preschool created a book list of featured literature from each of our favorite Harmony themes.  These books have been chosen by their past popularity and well as their support to our nine key core values.  We hope these books help bridge the gap between home and school.
