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.

April 2025 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy Spring!
April is such a fun month at school. So many exciting things going on.
My class is stomping into April talking about Dinosaurs. We love everything to do and say about Dinosaurs.
We celebrate Week of the Young Child after that. Always a special week to celebrate the uniqueness within our school.
Depending on our weather we will start planting some seeds and getting ready for planting.
Happy Easter is after that, always fun to do egg dying and read silly Easter Books.
From our room to your home,
Happy Easter from the 4’s and Miss Liz & Miss Hasna
4K
4K is FLYING by this year! The kids are gaining more and more knowledge and skills throughout the days and assessing will begin again for the next conferences. We will be continuing with working on letter and number recognition as well as our writing skills. I have seen improvement from each and every one of the students and am SO proud of them!
Our themes in April are Space, Food, Eggs, Gardening, and Food.
Week of the Young Child is April 7-11 and we can’t wait to celebrate!
