Thank you so much for participating in Enrichment Counts' very first series of summer learning programs! It was very rewarding to see children so engaged and excited to do all the hands-on learning activities from painting the class castle to playing Continent Twister. Your positive feedback about the type of learnng provided and your children's desire to return each day has helped me to make the decision to provide more of these programs next summer. Please watch the website throughout the year to check on updates and please let me know ab
out topics you are interested in seeing offered. I will check for your comments regularly. ~Thank you to the teachers~
