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

We had so much in April learning about butterflies, the rainforest, dinosaurs, and insects, doing lots of fun activities like fingerprint fireflies, dinosaur baking soda eggs, caterpillar crawls, and a rainforest animal safari hunt! In May we are going to learn about Mother's Day, Flowers, Sports, and Rainbows. Just some reminders: Please bring home sleeping bags and water bottles every Friday to be washed and brought back Monday clean.
If you have questions, comments, or concerns feel free to contact me on HiMama or in person!

Happy May!
We are so close to summer! This last month went by so fast. We spent the first week of the month talking all about the rainforest during the week of the young child. Then we talked about Easter and we had our very own Easter egg hunt with the other classes. On Earth day we talked about how much our planet does for us and how we have to be careful and take good care of it. Last week was one of my favorites where we talked about insects!
This next month we will talk about Mother’s Day, flowers and gardens, rainbows, and the weather! I can’t wait to share it all with you!
Just a few reminders: as always please bring home sleeping bags and water bottles every Friday to be cleaned. With the weather warming up I think it is safe to take home all winter gear.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Hello Families!
During the month of April we had such a great time exploring all of our themes. For the beginning of the month, we investigated the world of Butterflies! We had so much fun learning about the life cycle of a Butterfly! We then celebrated Week of the Young Child (WOYC) and this year’s theme was Rainforest Animals! The kiddos and I were able to learn a lot about the Rainforest and all about the animals that live there! We made Paper Plate Macaws, Playdoh Snakes, and Rolling Marble Red Eyed Tree Frogs! We spent the following week focused on Dinosaurs and also celebrated Earth Day! We made delicious dirt cups with dinosaur gummies! We investigated further into how we can be more eco-friendly for Earth! Some of the art projects we did for that week consist of Handprint Dinosaurs and Q-tip Dinosaur Skeleton Art! Finally, for the last week of the month, we spent it learning about bugs and insects!
The themes for May will be Mother’s Day, Flowers & Garden, Weather, and Rainbows! We have so many fun art projects and hand-on activities planned for the next month! We cannot wait to share it all with you!
As always, if you have questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to HiMama or to me personally!
