Kinder Tours

'Tis the season... for TK/Kinder tours for interested parents at Henry Ford!

Prospective parents always love to hear from current families after a tour with Principal Knopf.  This is a casual Q&A session with a small group (max 10 adults).  Meet outside the office, in front of the gate.   Always fun to do with a friend, but feel free to fly solo as well!
