Happy New Year, Hope Ridge!

Dress for the Weather:
As winter settles in, please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather. Coats, hats, gloves, and boots are essential for outdoor play! We will be going outside daily unless it is extremely cold or wet, so make sure your child is prepared for chilly days.

We are excited to welcome our youngest learners to Hope Ridge Preschool this month! We are so happy to introduce them to our classroom and community.

Our Christmas Raffle basket fundraiser was a HUGE success--all thanks to YOU! We raised close to $3,000! Wow! Thank you all for your generous contributions and ticket purchases. And a special thank you to Sam, Naomi, and Chelsea for putting together all the baskets!

Join us on January 19th from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM for our Open House. This is a great opportunity to meet the teachers, explore the classroom, and get a feel for our preschool environment. Feel free to spread the word and invite any friends or family interested in learning more about our program!

We will be closed on Monday, January 20th to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Enjoy the holiday with your family!

The Mentor Public Library will be visiting us for story time on the 22nd and 23rd. We always have so much fun with them!

Our "Fun Friday" theme for January is "Ahoy, Matey!" on January 31st. It's going to be a pirate adventure with lots of swashbuckling fun! Be sure to send your child with a nut-free lunch, and get ready for an exciting time!

In-house registration for the upcoming school year will begin on January 29th during class time. We will also be available from 6-7 PM for families who cannot make it during the day.

Make sure to mark your calendars to secure your child's spot before we open registration to the public.
