Marking the end of a month-long program dedicated
to celebrating cultures, the preschoolers learned about diversity, their heritage and the importance of acceptance of others despite cultural differences. In Woodbury, students at the Primrose School of Woodbury have been
learning about friendship and culture, geography and more throughout the month. The students have invited their parents to help them to learn about their individual cultures and heritage and encouraged these students and families to introduce their own culture to their school community.

"Children who have an appreciation for cultural traditions and differences at an early age develop into caring, generous adults who love their community and respect
others,” said Tonya Holt, franchise owner. “Celebrating Cultures is just one of many unique programs at Primrose that are especially designed to help children develop active minds, healthy bodies and happy hearts.”
