Birthdays
We love celebrating children’s birthdays at kindergarten. To support healthy eating and food safety, we kindly ask families not to send cakes.
If you wish, you may send uncut fruit, which kindergarten staff will prepare into a fruit platter to share as we sing Happy Birthday and make the day special for your child.
