Summer cleaning?

Glebe Cooperative Nursery School can use your old toys

By Emilee Harvey

If you used the latest lockdown to do some additional spring cleaning and regret another year without the historic Great Glebe Garage Sale, consider putting your extras to good use for Glebe Cooperative Nursery School (GCNS). COVID-19 has required new approaches to classroom play and toy selection. Many of the beloved wooden toys have been put away in cupboards because they cannot withstand the wear and tear of the heavy cleaning protocols. Additionally, toys that might have lasted the year under normal circumstances have been loved into permanent retirement by enthusiastic preschoolers.

As you sweep out your nooks and crannies this June, please think about setting aside toys and other items on our list for GCNS. Email vicepresident@glebepreschool.com for donation drop-off information.

For those interested in registration for fall 2021, students for both the toddler and preschool are being accepted on the waitlist. Please visit our website at glebepreschool.com for more information about the program and registration.

Emilee Harvey is vice president of the GCNS Board and a parent of a student in the GCNS preschool program.
