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 2026 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
May is here and Mothers are the first thing we jump into. We will make cards and gifts
for our moms.
Things that grow… and what the farmers are doing in the fields...we will read many stories about growing food and how it happens. We will also learn how we get it in our homes.
Dinosaurs are always a big favorite of the 4’s. We will have fun learning about the many different kinds of them.
We will follow up with Camping at the end of May, as many families go camping for the Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms and grandmas!
Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!
Miss Liz and her 4’s

We are working on Math, Science, name recognition, numbers and shapes, colors, letter recognition, and many other things. We are really focusing and working hard on letter recognition. We are also working on our graduation songs.
Our themes last month were: Easter, Outer Space, Week of the Young Child (Rainforest), Earth Week, and Farm animals.
Parents, please make sure to check your child’s cubby for important papers and artwork, and please make sure your child has extra clothes in their cubby and has a water bottle at school. Please also work on letter recognition at home with your child.
Our themes this month: Mother’s Day, Pond Life, Zoo, and Pets. We will make Mother’s Day gifts! If you have pets please bring in pictures of your pets with the pets name on them so we can talk about them in group.
Graduation will be on Wednesday, June 3rd. I will miss my kiddos but I know they will have fun in Kindergarten!
I hope everyone has a wonderful month and as always, feel free to talk to me about any questions or concerns.
Ms. Ashley & Ms. Hasna
