4 Year-old Pre-K All-Day Program
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.
If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

Our goal in our Pre-K classroom is to provide our students with an opportunity to learn while balancing both an organized enviornment and learning through play. We base our program on the Creative Curriculum with a focus on the Everyday Math Program and Handwriting without Tears. We feel that it is important to teach our students skills through hands on activity and movement.
Throughout the year the students are asked to do a few family projects which involve an activity that a parent and child complete as a team - most often some sort of art project. We believe that this is a great time to talk to your child about school and see his/her progress in learning. This is a wonderful way to get family involved in what is going on in the classroom.
As new themes arise each week we change our areas of the classroom to help keep our students' interest. It is always exciting seeing the students' reactions to our new items in the book area, sensory table, dramatic play, block area and discovery table. We also dedicate a bulletin board to a "Star Student" every other week to display pictures, favorites, and news about a friend in our class. The children always look forward to seeing who the next Star Student is.
Our Pre-K program is devoted to helping children grow and prepare for Kindergarten in a positive environment. We do our best to accomodate our teaching to service the needs of each child in our class. Ultimately, our goal is to guide our students day-by-day and facilitate their learning as they have only just begun their jouney in education.

December 2024 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy December!
We will talk about how we celebrate Christmas. We will talk about the traditions
in our families. We will read stories about Christmas around the world and how we all celebrate Christmas.
We will jump into being busy at our workshop in our room. St. Nick will come to many houses. We will be very excited about that too. We will have fun making things for our parents. Being Santa’s helpers is so much fun.
Our Christmas Concert is Thursday the 19th of December. Come celebrate with us down in the City Center!
Merry Christmas from our families to your family. May the Season be the reason.
Miss Liz, Miss Hasna, and our elves
4K
The holidays have been a wild time here in 4K! This month we will be diving into the different types of winter holidays. We will also continue talking a lot about personal space and emotions. The kids have been working very hard on learning their Christmas concert songs! We are excited to show all of our 4K parents how talented they are.
Just a reminder to bring hats, gloves, snow pants, jackets, and boots please! We have minimal extras for people who do not bring these items.
Have a great month!
Ms. Jocelyne & Ms. Kaylee
