It was all smiles as dads and students enjoyed playing catch, practicing pitching, and knocking it out of the park with tee ball. A great opportunity to bond and spend some quality time, all while staying active.

It's one of the oldest mysteries ever: which came first, the chicken or the egg? Today, North Early Learning Center may have finally cracked the case! Texas A&M AgriLife visited our Little Mustangs today to teach them about life cycles, how animals grow and develop, and how to properly care for animals. The students were excited to see the chicks hatch before their eyes! We can't decide which is cuter: the newly hatched chicks or our smiling Little Mustngs!
