NEWS & EVENTS
Dr. Seuss Pajama Party 2025-2026
We had such a fun night at our Dr. Seuss Pajama Party with some very special guests from our community!
Big THANK YOU to all our parents, staff, and especially our amazing first responders who made the night so special.
The kids loved listening to their favorite Dr. Seuss stories, read by our friends from the Dover Police and Fire Departments. So many smiles, laughs, and great memories all around!
📖💙 Until next year… Keep reading, keep dreaming, and always believe in the magic of a good book!
Fall Field Trip 2025
Fall Field Trip Fun at Ort Farms!
Our children had the best day at Ort Farms! From picking pumpkins and riding on the hay wagon, to feeding the animals and playing on the farm playground—it was full of giggles, learning, and fall magic.
A big thank you to all the teachers, families, and chaperones who helped make this special trip happen. We’re so grateful for their support—and for all the little moments that made big memories!
Family Picnic 2025
Thank You for a Wonderful Family Picnic!
It was wonderful to see families, children, and staff coming together to share laughs, play games, and enjoy great food and company. These moments of connection strengthen our school community and remind us of the importance of coming together outside the usual routines.
CHILDREN'S HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE
A big thank you to all the parents and volunteers who made our Children’s Holiday performance a huge success! Your support, dedication, and hard work behind the scenes helped bring this magical event to life. 🎭✨
We’re so grateful for everyone who cheered, helped with preparations, and made the day extra special. Your efforts made a world of difference!
Graduation & Moving up
On June 18, 2024 El Primer Paso graduated its 54th preschool class. Our children, with the help of their teachers and Board member Luis Martinez (who accompanied the children on his guitar), learned two songs each class and put on a very special performance. Two of the songs, " We're Off to Kindergarten and English/Spanish Color Song (Graduates and Moving up Children)" are depicted in this video.
