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.

May 2025 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy May!
We are excited with the spring weather. We will jump into May talking about our moms.
Mother’s Day gifts and cards will be what we will be doing. It will be a surprise.
We will start planting some seeds and talking about things that grow in spring time.
We will paint some flowers and bugs too.
The end of the month will be about what we do with our families in spring. Many of our families get ready to go camping or open their camps up.
Spring is an exciting time to enjoy the outdoors.
Happy Spring,
From the 4’s & Miss Liz
4K
May will be quite a busy month for the 4K room! We will be getting ready for Mother’s Day AND we have graduation coming up at the end of the month. With the kiddos being one step closer to kindergarten, we will be putting more effort into writing our names, emotional regulation, letter/number recognition, and learning our graduation songs. The class has made vast improvements in all of these areas throughout the year and we are very proud of them.
Our themes this month include Mother’s Day, Spring, Gardening, and Food.
Please make sure to take home winter apparel, bring in weather appropriate extra clothes, and make sure your child has a water bottle here.
Ms. Jocelyne and Ms. Kaylee
