Dear Families, Friends and Alumni of PEDP, All of the children at PEDP deserve to be part of a program that allows each of them to participate and experience all that it has to offer but the reality is that not all our families can afford it. Will you lend a helping hand to your […]

From Kathy’s Desk… Cooking is just one of the many enrichment activities we do at PEDP. Just this week, a Minnow’s group made Cheese Ball Pumpkins with Miss Kim!
