Where Children Love to Learn
Our nursery children enjoyed a lovely visit to Mrs. Covell’s apple orchard!🍏 They picked their own cooking apples, sparking curiosity, nature talks, and lots of smiles.
Back at cooking school, we measured, counted, peeled, and mixed fruits, turning learning into a delicious adventure! 🍋🌿🍎
