Parents and families shared donuts and milk with their children while getting a firsthand look at how the school day begins. Donuts from Terry’s Donuts gave students a small sugar boost before heading into their regular school breakfast, adding an extra touch of excitement to the morning.
KECDC Assistant Director of Early Learning Joelene Grande said the event offered families a valuable opportunity to experience their child’s daily routine. “It is a great way for the parents to see their children in their classroom and how they start their day and interact with their classmates,” Grande said. “We had a lot of parents come this morning, have a chance to talk to their child’s teacher, and see what it is like here in the morning.”
In one classroom, KECDC instructor Michelangelo Luce began the day gathered with students on the carpet as parents looked on. Luce starts his class each morning by naming every student who is present, inviting them to stand and do a short dance while classmates clap and celebrate one another, setting a joyful and welcoming tone for the day ahead.
