All the while, Stink and his foul-smelling sneakers become a real distraction as he vies for the coveted Golden Clothespin Award.

All branches of the arts are incorporated when introducing Culture as part of their curriculum. It is also the vehicle by which any participating 4-year-old in our Pre-K programs can watch global traditions and customs this season from India, Mexico, The Netherlands and Egypt come alive on stage, Where Community and Culture Converge at MCC. Offering you more Right Here in Miramar!
