Join Us for the Fall Fair on October 26

The Fall Fair brings together the entire Langley community for an afternoon of fun, food, and festivities that will bring smiles to children of all ages…and grown-ups, too! Plan to join us on Saturday, October 26 from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. 

Happy 82nd Birthday, Langley!

Today, Langley celebrates our founding 82 years ago in 1942! Although much has changed since that first class of 19 children, we continue to embrace the importance of early childhood education and a strong community just as our founders did so many years ago.

Buddies meet

Kindergartners met their new eighth-grade buddies for the first time today! Each week, buddies will spend time together reading, drawing, playing on the playground, and building special bonds. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Langley’s cherished buddy program.

Kindergarten apple picking

Kindergartners explored the natural world during their first field trip of the year during a visit to Doc Waters Cidery and Butler’s Orchard where they picked their own apples and had some fall fun at the petting zoo, giant slides, and hay maze.
