The students at Little Sprouts Preschool in New Hyde Park have seven weeks of summer, which culminated with a visit from the ice cream truck and a mini carnival.

The school’s summer program is in it’s ninth year.

Attendees enjoyed hours of water play, car washes, water balloon tosses, piñatas, arts and crafts, recipes, obstacle courses in the air conditioned gym, stories and weekly contests with special prizes.

Themes ranged from Wild West to Going on Safari to Pirates and Mermaids. The program is tailored to children ages 3 to 6. 

Little Sprouts Preschool is a ministry of the Christ Lutheran Church and has provided safe, nurturing early childhood education programs for almost two decades. There are still a few spots left in the 2018-19 school year classes. For more information or to schedule a tour, please call 516-746-4889 or visit www.christchurchnhp.org.
