EEC News - August 2024

A flyer for "EEC NEWS AUGUST 2024" from Highlands Recreation District, with contact info and a small castle graphic.

Hello EEC Families! 

This past July has been full of so much water play! The preschoolers got a new water pump for the sandbox that they have been very excited to use, especially on hot days!  

Next month, the EEC and the EEC Parent Association will host its first children’s art gallery on August 20. We are very excited to work on some projects this upcoming month to showcase!

The EEC would also like to let our community know that we still have spots available for our preschool rooms!  Our two mixed aged classrooms serve children ages 2 to 5.5 years. If you or someone you know is interested in joining, please email the Early Education Director, Julie Fernandez at Jfernandez@highlandsrec.ca.gov for more information. Check out the photos below for a peak at some of the amazing curriculum and provocations that inspire the children’s natural curiosity and creativity. You can also read more about our program here: https://highlandsrec.ca.gov/eec-philosophy  We’d love to have you join us!
