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.

August 2025 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy August!
It doesn’t seem possible August is already here. August is a time to review subjects we already know. We will review colors, shapes, patterns, letters, and numbers.
We will jump into all about our friends. Friendship is fun to talk about. We will do friendship art together with our friends. We will talk about the new friends we will
meet next year.
Bubbles are fun to talk about and make! We will make some bubble foam and giant bubbles too!
We will end the month stomping out of summer with our favorite books, games, and other fun projects.
Have a wonderful August. I know we will.

As we are nearing the end of summer, we will be focusing on independence and emotional regulation, as we have been all year. I do have a hygiene theme where they’ll prepare being more independent in the bathroom. We will also go over the tools that we can utilize when we’re upset. The last week of the Summer will be dedicated to having fun! We’ll have a water week and work to earn a movie with popcorn. Our themes in August are safety, personal hygiene, emotions recap, and end of summer fun. We are excited for our field trip to the Building for Kids on Monday, August 4th!
