Hitchcock Woods Early Learning Center hosted its annual open house on July 16 with tons of carnival fun for everyone.
There were games, decorations, snacks and prizes, all related to the carnival theme. Prizes were awarded for a coloring contest and a Hershey Kisses guessing game.
Employees of HWELC attended the event to provide information for parents and the guests who attended. The families could explore the building and the children could participate in several activities. There were sensory games, a photo booth, an animal face mask craft and more.
There were children who were newly enrolled along with students who are returning. Hitchcock is a full service child care center for children who are 6-weeks to 12-years.
Hitchcock has been open for more than 30 years and previous students who now have their own children bring them to Hitchcock to begin their education.
“It’s so wonderful to see that family connection continue and how much they trust in Hitchcock and the education and the community factor,” said Abbey Loree, Director of Hitchcock Woods.
Hitchcock Woods Early Learning Center hosts several community events throughout the year for everyone to come, regardless if they are enrolled in the school or not. The school does this as a way to show that they are there to help out Boardman and the community while promoting early learning.
Guests who attended the open house were eligible for free registration for the upcoming school year. Hitchcock Woods Early Learning Center will be hosting an open orientation on Aug. 15 as they prepare for the school year starting on Aug. 28.
