🎓❤️ Our Creative Playtime Preschool scholars graduated on Tuesday... and to be honest, we're still a little emotional.

It feels like just yesterday they were walking through our doors for the very first time. Over the past year, we've watched these incredible scholars learn, grow, explore, create friendships, build confidence, and fill our classrooms with laughter and joy.

While we're so proud of all they have accomplished, saying goodbye is never easy. These little scholars have left a big impact on our hearts.

To our graduates: Thank you for the smiles, the stories, the artwork, the curiosity, and the unforgettable memories. We know each of you is headed for amazing things, and we cannot wait to see all that you accomplish as you begin your next chapter.

To our families: Thank you for trusting us to be part of your child's journey.

And to our teachers and staff: Thank you for helping nurture, encourage, and inspire these young minds each and every day.

Please join us in congratulating the Creative Playtime Preschool Class of 2025! 🎓🌟

Once a Creative Playtime scholar, always a part of our Parks & Recreation family. ❤️

❤️ These are the moments that remind us what community is all about.

Last night, Mill Pond Park was filled with laughter, music, dancing, familiar faces, and new memories being made. Families gathered together, friends caught up under the summer sky, children danced, neighbors met, and for a few hours, everyone simply enjoyed being together.

Events like Newington Goes Country are about so much more than the music. They're about creating moments that people will look back on and remember years from now.

Take a look through some of the memories we captured from a beautiful evening in Newington. ❤️

👇 If you attended, tell us your favorite moment from the night.
