Local toddler tackles first day at preschool with snacks and smiles. “Our daughter, Olivia, started at Long Beach Christian this fall, and we couldn’t be happier! She comes home singing and is making new friends. Another big plus: it’s just down the street from us! Our pups, Peanut and Praline, love escorting her all the way to the door,” say parents, Shelby and Kristina.
