Preschool Programming (3-Year Olds)
"I go to sleep thinking about my children being spoiled and I wake up thinking about it."
~ Adam Sandler
Our commitment to quality care enhances our Preschool Program through our hands-on, theme based curriculum, which allows children to make good choices and be successful. At each stage of preschool development careful consideration is given to classroom arrangement and selection of developmentally appropriate toys and equipment to enhance the development of the children. The preschool classroom revolves around 8 interest areas: creative arts, blocks, dramatic play, book corner, manipulatives, math, science and sensory. Insterest areas are enriched with engaging activities corresponding with the theme. Children interact with a variety of materials to discover and learn. It is through this child-directed play and fun that preschoolers are actually learning concepts such as counting, letter recognition, sounds, shapes, colors sequencing and listening skills in prepartion for kindergarten.
Arts for Kids has a written program of activities planned according to the developmental level of each group of children and intended to expose children to a variety of cultures. The program will give each child experiences that will encourage the following:
Self esteem and positive self-images
Social interacation
Self-expression and communication skills
Creative expression
Large and small muscle development
Intelluctual growth

Hello Families!
We had so much fun and did so many activities in July! We learned about camping, space, transportation, and yummy fruits and vegetables. The kids also got to make leaf rubbings, coffee filter planets, do a "mini" car wash, and pretend farmers market! This month of August we get to learn about: Carnivals, Kid's Choice (When the kids get to decide what our theme is), Disney, Back to school, and Getting to know all about you.
Reminders:
Please bring home sleeping bags and water bottles every Friday to be washed and returned on Monday.
As always feel free to message me if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Happy August families!
July went by fast! This last month we had a blast celebrating the 4th of July and talking all about EAA! We even got to see the planes outside!
This month is going to be full of fun themes such as mythical creatures, Carnival, Disney, and back to school! I can’t wait to share all the fun projects we have planned!
As always please make sure we have weather appropriate clothing in our cubbies. Please also remember to bring water bottles and sleeping bags home on Friday to be washed and return them on Monday.
I also would like to take this time to let everyone know that my last day at Arts for Kids will be August 21st. It’s been a true blessing to have gotten to see all of these kids grow up and reach new milestones. The new teacher is Miss Kelsey and she is so excited to get to know your kiddos and work with them! She will be in the classroom with me over the next few weeks learning about everyone!
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Hello families!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
This month was filled with many hands-on and delicious activities! We started off the month focusing on one of the most common Summer activities: Camping! As a class we built a tent together, ate hotdogs around a fake campfire and made delicious smores! Next, our class explored Outer Space. Some of the crafts consisted of Shaving Cream Planets and Paper Plate Aliens! We were able to taste test asteroids (cheeseballs) and build constellations out of pretzels and marshmallows! During the third week of July, we focused on Transportation (in honor of EAA!) We investigated all the different types of transportation that help us get from one point to another! We made Paper Plate Hot Air Balloons, and Torn Paper Traffic Lights! We ended the month learning about Fruits and Vegetables! Some of our art projects consist of Paper Plate Tomatoes, Bubble Wrap Stamped Pineapples, and Painting with Broccoli. We taste tested veggie tots and made a delicious smoothie out of strawberries, mangoes, spinach, and bananas!
August will be filled with fun themes such as Fairs & Carnivals, Kids’ Choice, Disney, Back to School, and Getting to Know You! We have many hands-on activities and fun crafts planned for this month as well as some delicious treats! We can’t wait to share it all with you!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on HiMama or to me personally!
