Martha's Village Celebrates Pre-School Graduation Ceremony

From Martha's Village and Kitchen: Martha’s Village and Kitchen will host a ceremony for 10 pre-school graduates who will be moving from our facilities Child Development Center into their Kindergarten classes throughout the Valley. The graduation will be held on Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at 10:00am at Martha’s Village & Kitchen campus at 83791 Date Avenue in Indio.

In this graduating class, Martha’s will celebrate Kinalani Hernandez who has been a member of the Child Development Center since she was a year old. Kina has moved through each one of the classrooms and has learned so much over the years. Kina’s favorite part of coming to the Children’s Center is that she gets to play and learn with her friends. Kina is excited about her graduation this week and moving on to Kindergarten.

When asked what she wants to be when he grows up, Kina said, “I want to be a Police Officer to help people.”
