We have a saying around here in our Early Childhood Center: there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. Our kids spend almost the whole day outside, keeping them happy and safetrust us that they are smiling under those masks! Enjoying the rain isn’t just for kids. Get out those Wellies and raincoats and have some fun! #preschool #forestschool #rivertowns #tarrytown #irrvington #dobbsferry #hastingsonhudson #ardsley #ossining
