Sunnyside Preschool Open in Sherman Oaks Sunnyside’s unique approach to play-based developmental programs encourages curiosity, imagination, and social skills. The teachers inspire a love for learning that fosters the social, emotional, physical, creative, and cognitive growth of each child. As the children extend play beyond themselves, they learn what it means to be part of a group and to share their world with others. Activities include art, community garden, woodworking, yoga, music, and Spanish. Child to teacher ratio is 6:1. Hours are 9 am to 3 pm (8:30 am early drop off and enrichment classes to 4pm).

Cool Weather Trend: Tights As the air starts to chill and we update our wardrobes with fall’s transitional trends: luxe-looking fabric skirts, fall-friendly sheer layers, bold heels, and menswear inspired accessories, the one fashion staple that remains the foundation of any cool weather look is tights. The Fall 2010 Runways were swathed in patterned stockings, jewel-toned tights and fresh takes on fishnets. Legwear has emerged as a versatile accessory that has the ability to define an outfit or add the finishing touch to a polished look. This fall, Hanes Silk Reflections brings innovation to the tights category with the launch of Sheer Tights. This luxuriously silky tight provides the perfect balance between sheer hosiery and opaque tights for effortless dressing from autumn, to winter, to spring. Hanes Silk Reflections Sheer Tights are available in black, gentle brown, granite, nude and plum; sizes AB, CD, EF, GH, IJ; SRP: $10.00; in the hosiery section at department stores nationwide. http://haneshosiery.com/SilkReflections/ Health Benefits from Dining Together.
