Our little learners got an up-close look at a fire truck and learned a little more about the important work firefighters do to keep our community safe.
And this visit was extra special because one of our Tender Years dads is a volunteer firefighter! We loved getting to see him in action and we have a feeling his kiddos were pretty proud to have Dad at school for the day. ๐ฅน
A big thank you to our local firefighters for spending the day with us and making it one our kids wonโt soon forget!
