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 2026 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy August!
How are we into August already? Seems like summer just got here.
We will start off the month with a review of our skills like colors. Shapes, names, and letter and number recognition.
We will crawl into Eric Carle and talk about some of our favorite books. We will make a very hungry caterpillar and have some of our friends tell us about the butterflies that hatch.
Foods of summer are fun too, and we all have our favorites. We will try different kinds of fruits, like watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries. We will also talk about the food we get from the farmers, how it grows, and taste some too.
We end of the month having end of summer fun. Maybe a movie and popcorn time. Giant bubbles are always fun to make. Water days are great too.
We hope you have had a nice summer. Good luck to our friends going to 4K and kindergarten. Have fun!
Miss Liz and her 4’s

Welcome August!
We are working on math, science, teamwork, numbers, writing their names, etc. The kiddos are also working on sitting down for longer periods of time to get them ready for kindergarten!
Our themes last month were camping/4th of July, Jungle, Ocean Animals, EAA, and Super Heroes. The kiddos always love making fireworks for the 4th of July, and smores for camping. They also enjoyed the fun crafts we made for ocean week. We are enjoying going on field trips and making fun memories together. Our themes this month are Fair/Carnival/Circus, Water play, Dinosaurs, Nursery Rhymes, and All about me. Please make sure that your child has a swimsuit and towel in their cubby at all times so we can have a water day as needed. Please check your child’s cubby for important paperwork or artwork. I will definitely miss my kiddos and I wish them the best in kindergarten!
Please also make sure that your child has extra clothes in their cubby. Feel free to message me or talk to me personally about any questions or concerns that you may have. I hope everyone has a wonderful month.
Thank you,
Ms. Ashley, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Gina
