Before May gets here, there’s one more thing to note for April. Thursday, April 27 is “Take Your Child to Work Day”. If your child will be participating in this and NOT coming to MPK for After School please let us know so we can note that on our calendar.

Now that spring sports are starting up — soccer, baseball, hockey, etc. — you may need to pick up your child earlier then normal. If this is you, please email Melinda your schedule so we can have them take the first class with Little Kickers.
