Christine Young, principal of Rainbow Babies and Kids, said the event was one of the highlights of the school calendar. “It is such a special moment to see a child look up in adoration at their father, showing pride in their preschool work and inviting them to play.”

After a morning of fun-filled activities, fathers and children shared a picnic, enjoying snacks and relaxed conversations under the trees.

According to the school, these moments of connection are invaluable in nurturing a child’s sense of security and belonging.
