And it all started with Maura and Stephen, who met back in 1985. After many years of hard work and dedication, Stephen was able to complete the construction of the 14 stall barn and indoor arena in 2009. His attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the farm. Today, Stephen is still heavily involved in the everyday operations of Reevedale Farm. From stacking hay to fixing fences and lights, clearing trails and assisting with barn projects, Stephen's hard work is a key factor in the success of the farm. His contributions are invaluable and they do not go unnoticed. Maura and Stephen have created an incredible riding facility, with Riding/Driving Lessons, Trailer-in Training, Youth Group, Kids Programs and more. It's a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to learn, grow and enjoy the joys of horsemanship. Reevedale Farm wouldn't be what it is today without Stephen's dedication and hard work.

As parents and coaches, having some familiarity with an AED is a good idea. AEDs are designed to be user friendly and walk users through the steps of use. At our annual coach safety meeting, we review the steps on how to use the AED, so if you’re interested in learning more, you can find instructional videos online. AEDs are becoming increasingly common in many public buildings, and being aware of the steps of use could be a lifesaving skill. It’s something that could come in handy if an emergency situation arises. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the coach safety committee for more information.

When your little one arrives each day, they will start off with a welcoming routine that helps them ease into the preschool environment. After settling in, they gather with their classmates and teachers for a daily meeting, which serves as a check-in on how everyone is doing. Throughout the day, your child will have ample opportunities to explore different centers and materials, practice their fine and gross motor skills, take breaks for snacks and bathroom trips, and participate in one whole group activity. If it’s nice out, they’ll also get some outdoor time. When the session comes to an end, your preschooler will have a chance to debrief about their day and practice social skills during a dismissal routine. This allows them to have a sense of closure before heading off.
