LAKEPORT, Calif. – Rose Family Preschool Program in Lakeport presented its annual “Circus of Stars” on April 27 before a large crowd of family and friends.

The 15 students from the “Butterfly,” “Jr. Butterfly” and “Caterpillar” classes wore hand-painted costumes as they presented a 40-minute program of animal acts and songs which included dancing bears, juggling monkeys, galloping ponies, tight-rope walking elephants and fire-jumping lions and tigers.

After a quick costume change, the children completed their program with a variety of animal and circus songs, with a finale of the parade of animals, all to the joy and delight of the audience.

“The circus has been a wonderful annual tradition, teaching the students to be part of a live singing performance at a very early age. I’m always so proud and excited to see them gain confidence while having such a great time; memories I hope they will always remember,” said instructor Martha Rose.

Rose began her career 31 years ago as a licensed daycare provider with a preschool program. She offers both a beginning program for 3 year olds and a Pre-K program for 4 years olds.

Classes run from September through May. To schedule an interview call 707-263-3283 as spaces are limited.
