We need your feedback!
Fox Ridge families who attended our Week of the Young Child event on April 10 had a blast! We goofed though - very few families joined the fun. We need your feedback to do better next time- please take this short survey (less than one minute to complete) to help us plan future events you are interested in and that work with your schedule.
Early Childhood Department at Haines Next School Year
Our Early Childhood Department will be moving to a renovated Haines Center for the 2024-25 school year. This includes all of our classrooms and programming currently at Fox Ridge. Construction begins at Haines Center in March 2024. We will be sharing the Haines building with Compass Academy and construction plans include distinct, separate and secure spaces for our preschoolers and the high school students during student attendance hours.
Outdoor play continues throughout all the seasons at Fox Ridge, weather permitting, and is an important part of our curriculum. Classrooms go outside as long as conditions are safe to do so and the temperature, including wind-chill, is above 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Please be sure your preschooler has clothes appropriate for outdoor play daily. If weather prohibits outdoor play (e.g., raining, too cold, or hazardous conditions like ice present) classrooms use one of our indoor motor areas. If you are in need of a warmer coat for your child please contact Tricia Sabathne, Child and Family Educator, at tricia.sabathne@d303.org
Even if your child has another year (or more!) before going to kindergarten, "This 2024 Getting Ready for Kindergarten- Family Activity Calendar" is for you! Designed for any child 5 and under who is not yet in kindergarten, and full of ideas and resource to help maximize experiences at home and out in the community to help your children thrive now and in the years to come.
This Family Activity Calendar contains daily activities to support school readiness. Children develop at their own rate! It's up to you how to use this calendar. Tips can be done in any order. Each month has a list of recommended books, tips, and videos in addition to the daily tips.
Each child who attends Fox Ridge for preschool or walk-in speech should have received a copy of this calendar before Winter Break. If your child is just now starting with us a copy will be sent home shortly. Digital copies are also available - click on the picture of the calendar.
