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.

September 2025 News!
4s (Ms. Liz)
Happy September!
We welcome a new group of children into our room. How exciting to meet new friends. We will also be keeping some of our old friends too.
We will start off talking all about me and what things we like, and who’s in our family. Family pictures are welcome for our board.
Community helpers will follow. Where are the community helpers in our school neighborhood as well as at home? We all enjoy dressing up as people we would like to be.
Fall will be coming and changes in weather will follow too. We will paint handprint leaves, and we will also look for changes of fall around our neighborhood. Please have a coat or sweatshirt for our playtime. We go out before 9am and its much cooler than.
We will talk about apples next, and we will taste different kinds. Apple picking time is always fun.
Happy Fall from Miss Liz, Miss Hasna, and the 4’s.

Welcome to the 4K family!
We are so excited to start this journey with you all. We will be starting the year with learning more about your children and having them learn more about us. After that, we will be jumping in to learning more about family dynamics and the fall season. Our themes this month will be 4K welcoming, All about me, Family, and Fall. Please remember to bring in extra clothes for your child’s cubby, and up to 4 family photos for our family tree.
Thank you,
Ms. Jocelyne and Ms. Kaylee
