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.

March 2026 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
March has arrived and there’s all kinds of things that will be happening.
We will be sharing many Dr. Seuss books for the first couple of weeks of March. Dr. Seuss is a favorite and helps us to rhyme words. Dr. Seuss is also silly and full of fun. His stories are some of my favorites as well.
We also have to be careful and watch out for Leprechauns. They like to mess our rooms up for St. Patrick’s Day.
Rainbows and shamrocks are where the Leprechauns just might be hiding. We will make rainbows too. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all our families.
Well, will spring come early or late? Only time will tell. We will do some fork painting and spatter art for Spring.
Happy Spring from Miss Liz and her 4’s

Welcome March!
Hello parents. My name is Ms. Ashley. I am the new 4K teacher. I have had most of your children in the past. I was the youngest 2 year old teacher. I am very excited to work with you as parents and your kiddos in the 4K room. We are going over classroom rules and expectations, math, science, literacy, job helpers, wish you well board, creating more centers, and being respectful to each other and teamwork. We will be focusing on more learning as they get ready for kindergarten.
Our themes this month are Dr. Seuss, St. Patricks’ Day, Spring, Bugs, and Easter. We will have a St. Patrick’s Day party and I will put a sign-up sheet on the door if anyone wants to bring a treat. Also please make sure that your child has extra clothes in their cubby. Parents, please check your child’s cubby for important paperwork or artwork that is being sent home. I look forward to seeing your child be successful and engaged in learning.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to talk to me personally or message me on the parent app. I hope everyone has a wonderful month.
Thank you,
Ms. Ashley and Ms. Hasna
