WOODBINE Road Preschool had two big reasons to celebrate last month.
The quadruplets who attend the Cranbourne North preschool celebrated their fifth birthday in the same week that the preschool celebrated its 20th year of educating three and four-year-old children in preschool.
The quadruplets, Kevin, Ryan, Dylan and Brian Ranaweera, who started at that preschool in February, will be off to school next year.
The preschool’s purple group celebrated the double milestone on Thursday 26 May, with balloons, treats, made chocolate crackles and of course a birthday cake.
When Woodbine Road Preschool opened 20 years ago, it only had one room.
Now, it has two rooms and accommodates five four-year-old-groups and five three-year-old groups.
