Just a quick post to introduce the class offerings planned at The Schoolhouse this coming September through May. These were a long time coming, but you are sure to find them worth the wait!
WingHaven Schoolhouse is located directly behind The Pink Victorian in Mullica Hill.
WingHaven is not so much of a co-op as it is a resource for our family to join with other families who wish to supplement or enrich their childrens' Christian education with group experiences outside the home. Friends working with friends to bring up their children.
Monday Offerings:
9-11 AM Glue and Goo Class, recommended ages 3-7: Messy fun with seasonal projects ranging from tie-dye to papier mache. celebrating creativity with friends while saving Mom's sanity and her kitchen floor.
