Teaching staff enjoy having these days to be able to catchup on some things.

• Edna Oliver has started a new program with the Denver Zoo called the Nurturing Scientist. Thepreschool classrooms are participating and children will have the opportunity to explore scienceboth at the center and in classrooms at the Denver Zoo.
