Range Line Preschool and Childcare

  We are hurrying to get our kitchen completed! We finally have our plans approved by the state and we are ready to begin instalation (as of July 17th).

Because our kitchen is not open yet we are asking parents to send in a nutritionally balanced lunch for their child.

Healthy snacks, milk and 100% juice drinks will be provided!
