Santa’s Elves Busy at work at Kangaroo Kids

Kangaroo Kids was a sea of lights and festivities as families came together to celebrate the season at their Winter Wonderland, coordinated by Assistant Director Shaun Pidany.  Spirits were high as they enjoyed the Ginger Bread Displays and created holiday crafts.  

Special visitors, Santa and Frosty delighted the little ones.

A cookie exchange made everyone smile when they tasted the wide variety of cookies and shared their favorite recipes with each other.  After the crafts, games, and family portraits the evening ended with a fun rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas as all the families sang along! 

Holiday time is of caring and sharing at Kangaroo Kids.  Gifts surrounded Kangaroo Kids Giving Tree with presents for needy children in an Appalachian Community in West Virginia.  Muffins for Mom will be Kangaroo Kids upcoming event for January.  Call 908-231-7800 or Like Kangaroo Kids Child Care Facebook page for upcoming events and community service projects.


Wishing Happy Holidays and Peace throughout our world to all the families and friends of Kangaroo Kids.
