Welcome!
We have a ECE/DK parent group this
year!
Join other parents of kids in the Early
Childhood program (preschool & DK) for some camaraderie,
support, and conversation! We meet once a month, and
occasionally for play groups. Kids are welcome to come --
there will be some toys but no "official" childcare. We like
to bring snacks, and hope you will too!
Questions? Email Katie Rohs: katie@twintasticmom.com
Also, join our online discussion group:

Please consider joining Meridian Park’s
PTSA!
PTSA
generously gives each class $75 to spend on supplies as well as
grants to the Early Childhood Program for buses for field trips and
other items. With a PTSA grant we were able to purchase a new
oven and supplies for our cooking cart, and for an artist (Dyna
Gegen) to paint murals on the walls of our preschool gym.
We are also interested in starting
a preschool division of Meridian Park's PTSA this
year. If you are interested in being an active member
of the preschool PTA, please contact your child's teacher.
Thank you!
