The Belle Haven preschool’s annual open house is Saturday, Oct. 22, from 9–11 a.m. at the Belle Haven Child Development Center. This is a perfect time for families to get to know their child’s teachers and learn what to expect for the school year. There will also be a presentation of the “Raising a Reader” program. This program allows children to bring home a book bag weekly and promotes the benefits of becoming better readers. By choosing to read for fun, children gain the motivation to read more and perform better in school.
