Preschool Programming (3-Year Olds)
"I go to sleep thinking about my children being spoiled and I wake up thinking about it."
~ Adam Sandler
Our commitment to quality care enhances our Preschool Program through our hands-on, theme based curriculum, which allows children to make good choices and be successful. At each stage of preschool development careful consideration is given to classroom arrangement and selection of developmentally appropriate toys and equipment to enhance the development of the children. The preschool classroom revolves around 8 interest areas: creative arts, blocks, dramatic play, book corner, manipulatives, math, science and sensory. Insterest areas are enriched with engaging activities corresponding with the theme. Children interact with a variety of materials to discover and learn. It is through this child-directed play and fun that preschoolers are actually learning concepts such as counting, letter recognition, sounds, shapes, colors sequencing and listening skills in prepartion for kindergarten.
Arts for Kids has a written program of activities planned according to the developmental level of each group of children and intended to expose children to a variety of cultures. The program will give each child experiences that will encourage the following:
Self esteem and positive self-images
Social interacation
Self-expression and communication skills
Creative expression
Large and small muscle development
Intelluctual growth

Hello families!
Happy Holidays! Christmas is my favorite time of year because I love to spoil the kids with presents. Remember to bring in hats and mittens and bring extra clothes in case they get wet when we are outside. I don’t have many extra clothes in my room. It was great seeing everyone at parent teacher conferences and going over things. Thanks to everyone who came!
Last month we learned about woodland animals, community helpers, turkeys, and Thanksgiving. In December we will learn about shapes, Christmas, and more!
Any questions please message me in the app.
Happy Holidays!

Happy December families!
This year is almost over, how crazy is that! This last month we talked about Thanksgiving and turkeys as well as fall animals and community helpers! We talked about some of the things we do around Thanksgiving with our families as well as made some fun Turkey crafts.
This next month we’re going to talk about Candy Canes & Snowmen & Gingerbread the first week followed by winter. Then we’ll talk about Christmas around the world and how others celebrate, then we’ll talk about how we celebrate Christmas and finish the month with the new year!
Please remember that we go outside when the feel like temperature is 0 degrees or higher. Please bring snow gear and extra clothes.
If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me.

Hello Families!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’re just a month away from the new year!
Throughout the month of November, we focused on the following themes: Community Helpers, Fall Animals, Turkeys, and Thanksgiving! Our class did so many fun art activities such as painting with toothbrushes, Brown Bear and Black Bear Masks, Turkey Suncatchers, Coffee Filter Turkeys, and Handprint Corn Art! This month was also filled with many delicious food activities! We were able to hop into the shoes of a chef and make our own personal pizza during Community Helper week! And for the week focused on Fall Animals we made brown bear pancakes! The kiddos absolutely enjoyed the treats!
Next month’s themes are Shapes, Candy Canes & Snowmen, Winter, Christmas, and New Years! We have so many activities and art projects planned for the next month! We cannot wait to share it all with you!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on HiMama or to me personally!
