INSIDE CARMEL MOUNTAIN PRESCHOOL
Here at Carmel Mountain Preschool, we support and encourage children’s interest of the natural world by engaging them in real, hands-on investigations and learning activities both indoors and outdoors.

Spring is in the air at CMP! We talked about flowers, birds, grass, and trees. Then they drew pictures inspired by the book and this special time of the year. This is a very fun and colorful project. Try it at home or in your classroom!
For the past three weeks, the children at CMP have been working very hard on a special project for their Mom’s for Mothers Day.
