Breakfast in the Park

Breakfast in the Park

OMS commenced the 2023/2024 school year with its annual Breakfast in the Park. Held on August 26th at the Lakeview Group Area Vasona Park in Los Gatos, this annual event was a great way to start the school year as it allows existing parents, children and the OMS team to re-connect and new families to meet the members of the community.

Easel Painting

In addition to creating art, easel painting has many benefits. The child learns about the various tiers of the color scheme through exploration, and develops motor skills by holding the brush and squeezing and rinsing during the clean-up process.
