Easter Bunny Surprises Kids at Catholic Charities

Last week the Easter Bunny got a head start on his big holiday with a visit to Catholic Charities’ Childcare and Early Childhood Education and Assistance programs. The surprised preschoolers were excited to meet the big furry guest, and most clamored to have pictures taken with him.

Parents knew about the planned visit, and many were on hand with cameras ready. Easter Bunny visited each class on Thursday, April 2, giving him, and the children, the day off on Good Friday.

Danielle Rasmussen, Associate Director for Catholic Charities Childcare and ECEAP Services explained the visit. “We try to get on the Easter Bunny’s busy schedule each Easter season, and his staff is very good about working us in. We are already planning on him visiting again next year.”
