One final note: We were very sad that Ms. Kris' children as well as other students who had been at Endeavor for several years left the program but wish them the best of luck in kindergarten and first-grade. We look forward to hearing about all their new adventures when we see them again! We were also very excited to welcome two new students from the toddler classroom who joined us in August.
Special Considerations: With the uncertain Ohio climate, we recommend having your child dress in clothing that can be layered (shirt, sweater or zip sweatshirt) as well as wearing a warmer jacket and closed shoes. The preschool/ Pre-K children-and their teacher- love going outside in all sorts of weather!
