We loved meeting so many new faces at our Preschool and Kindergarten Roundup! Watching our newest learners explore the halls for the first time reminds us why we do what we do. We are already looking forward to starting the 2026-2027 school year together and watching these little ones grow.
Missing out on the fun? It’s not too late! Registration is ongoing, and we still have a seat saved just for you. Come join our Vandal family!
