What Winghaven Mamas Do!

One unexpected benefit of the gatherings at Winghaven?

The prep time gained by the mamas and papas whose kiddoes arrive each Tuesday and Friday.

Among the activities reported:  Gym workouts, Shop Rite runs, Amish Market visits, NAPS!, phone time, gas-ups, unscheduled chat time....and then there are the transactions that take place on the driveway:  Organic honey, hand-me-downs, children (for playdates), coupons, curriculum, PRAYER!!

We knew there would be lots of learning going on.  The bonus of the sense of community has been a lovely surprise.

See you all Friday!


New Class Offerings
