Center Improvements

The Montara Preschool Families embraced the PG&E PSPS this last weekend and came together to beautify the outdoor play area. Some of the improvements included an outdoor kitchen, water wall, and a freshly painted chalk wall. We can't wait to see the music/sound area that will be coming soon!
