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! I do hope your children are having conversations with you about what they do each day at PEDP but if not, hopefully you are gathering some snippets […]

Some of our Minnows took their first field trip with us yesterday to Connors Farm. We had such fun! I was completely impressed that my group of K/1’s was able to find their way through the whole cornfield maze. Everyone agreed that the apple cider donuts were AMAZING! The first month flew by! What a […]

From Kathy’s Desk September 2018 Valentino, for one, is thrilled that the dog days of summer are still with us! One of his favorite activities is “fishing” in our above ground pool on these hot, steamy days. Ha Ha.  He is less than thrilled, however, now that I am back at work.  We enjoyed some […]

From Kathy’s desk… Firstly, thanks to Joanne Lyons and Susan Lunin, former PEDP board members and members of the Temple Shalom Garden Club, for coordinating and teaching our Explorers how to create beautiful flower arrangements again for us this year! Thanks also to all of you who participated in our “UNPLUGGED” day. It makes you […]

From Kathy’s Desk… Have you taken your family to Battleship Cove? Our group had a great time there during the Spring Vacation Week! Well, today feels rather wintry but the rest of the week sounds like it’s going to be a prelude to summer! You have to love New England, eh? Before I get to […]

From Kathy’s Desk April 2018 Wow!  What a wild weather month we had!  Are we finally done with all the snow days?! Though unpredictable weather-wise, we still managed to check off lots of our “to-dos” in March. Our “Pioneer Days” theme was a lot of fun for the kids and quite educational as well.  PEDP became Little House on […]

From Kathy’s desk… Our visit from meteorologist, Mark Rosenthal, was fascinating!  What great timing too, as he shared with us some of the forecasting challenges for the upcoming Nor’easter storm! Did the kids tell you about our Mardi Gras event a few weeks ago? That was a fun time! Lest we not forget… Escuela Fermín […]
