Creating a safe and kind environment at school starts with open conversations at home.
At Algonquin PreK Center, it's never too early to talk with our pre-k littles about what bullying is and why kindness is so important. We are committed to fostering a community where everyone feels respected and valued.
Let's work together to be kind to one another and teach our littles to do the same.
