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.

June 2025 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
June is such a fun month for our 4’s. We will kick off the month with Father’s Day. We will make cards and gifts for them. We will talk about how important they are in our lives.
Summer starts after Father time marches on it seems. We will be able to wear shorts and have water days. Water and squirters are so fun.
Before you know it, July 4th will be coming and we will do some spatter art outside.
Happy summer!
Miss Liz, Miss Ashley, and the 4’s.

As the weather warms up, we will be doing more outside activities and field trips! Water day is something the class will be earning throughout the summer so suits and towels will be needed. We will be going even more into detail on emotional regulation so the kids will have calming tools to take with them to Kindergarten. Kindness class with Mr. Jake will also be wrapping up but we will still be working on that as well throughout the summer! Our day to day learning will be very similar to our current schedule.
Our themes for this month include senses, Father’s Day, transportation, and summer.
Ms. Jocelyne and Ms. Kaylee
