Hello Preschool families! Happy Friday!

Well, we are beginning to wind it down. It has been so wonderful to see the parents coming and going from the building for conferences.

Our classrooms are continuing their Getting Ready for Kindergarten or Gardening study. The 4-year-olds are getting so excited for Kindergarten! What an exciting time! Please be sure you have completed the enrollment for your child for kindergarten and also scheduled your child’s kindergarten screening with your elementary school.

Students’ last day of school will be Wednesday, May 29th. This will be an early dismissal day.

One reminder: Please remember that students are not permitted to wear flip-flops or other shoes that do not have a back on them. This is for your child’s safety. We appreciate your cooperation!

We are enrolling now for next school year. Please spread the word to your friends and family that the time is here to enroll for preschool for next year!

Have a wonderful weekend!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

The 3-year-old classrooms have started their exploration in Gardening! This week they talked discussed what grows in a garden.

This week the 4's wrapped up- "Getting Ready for Kindergarten!". Time was spent each day reflecting on what they had learned and discussions around the Elementary School visits they all attended.

We are wrapping up this school year with Kindness. Our classrooms will be discussing creativity through activities and books as well as reflecting on the traits they discussed this year.
