Happy Hippo Room: 1-1/2 - 2 year olds

Room Coordinator: Nikki Cowell
Assistants: Nadia Matson, Flo Ziemer (Mondays), Tracy Hefty (Fridays)

Welcome to the Happy Hippos!

We are very excited to meet the new hippos of this year’s class. Although at this age there may be a few tears in the beginning, by the end of the year they will have met many new friends as well as gotten reacquainted with old ones. We will be learning colors, singing our ABCs and doing some counting. The children will have many adventures as they have free play with one another, fun crafts and reading/song time. We are also excited to have prayer time and Bible story time. Thank you for allowing us to love and teach your children. They truly are a blessing from God.

—Teachers Nikki, Nadia, Flo & Tracy
