Hundreds of children and their families enjoyed a summer evening at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in May. This “Laugh and Learn” event takes place annually for families participating in Kent ISD’s Early Childhood programs, including Bright Beginnings, Early On, Great Start Readiness Preschool and Great Start to Quality.
Families explored the entire grounds which included the Lena Meijer Children’s Garden, the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese garden, and many more. Special activities for children included story time, music and art. There were also hearing and vision screenings and many resources for children’s dental health, nutrition and wellness resources. And course, there were snacks!
