Special Events

Though LANK preschoolers do not take field trips, special events at LANK have become traditions that everyone looks forward to! Designed to enhance our core curriculum, LANK is always very proud to present groups such as Reptiles Alive!, Dino-Rock, Bob Brown Puppets, and the Fairfax County Fire Department, just to name a few of the special guests that have made an appearance at the school.

LANK staff also encourages special guests to visit their classrooms. Many of the guests are LANK parents who volunteer their time to help supplement the teachers’ weekly activities. For example, many parents come to LANK to talk about their cultural heritage during various holidays throughout the year such as the Persian New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Cinco de Mayo. LANK also has parents come in to chat with students about their professions including veterinarians, dentists, physicians, architects, beekeepers…. and the list goes on!

Special events at LANK create excitement and provide wonderful experiences for every child at LANK. It helps them see the larger world around them and make connections from the classroom to what is going on in their daily lives. It is so exciting for us to witness the amazement and inquisitiveness of the children as they listen and ask questions during these unique interactions.
