Both Rainbow Preschool sites had all-day, outdoor activities to celebrate summer this year, and allow parents and guardians to come and have a day of fun with their kids.

On June 9th, the Albion Preschool held a Carnival day. Senior Nurse Michele Batt and her family generously hosted the event at their farm.
Children enjoyed a variety of activities, from petting the animals, including llamas, goats, and chickens, to a "dinosaur bone dig" and carnival games. There were bean bag tosses, rubber duck fishing, can toss, and a bounce house. Children also enjoyed face painting, a special performance by a magician, and carnival treats such as popcorn, spun sugar, and lollipops.

Local Magician James F. Cieslinski* performs magic for the kids, as well as leading some singalongs and encouraging the kids to dance and participate.
