Lacey Jensen, a Kids Country Child Care and Learning Center student from Sartell, plays during an afternoon of laughter, fun and relationship-building at Val Smith Park. Families and students were invited to a Kids Country picnic May 23 where all enjoyed summertime treats, played on the playground, shared stories and made new introductions while getting to know one another outside of the classroom. The child-care and learning center believes well-developed relationships between staff and parents play an important role in ensuring a positive experience for families, and especially students. Parent-teacher activities are held multiple times throughout the year in an effort to promote that philosophy.
