Preschool Fair – Saturday, January 13 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.  

This is a great opportunity to speak informally with many local preschools all in one room, ask questions, and help narrow down your search and choose which schools you’d like to tour.  This event has no registration and is open to the public.
