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 3-1's friends and families!
I can't believe that December is already over! I hope everyone had a happy holiday with lots of good times. Over the month of December the kids and I talked about gingerbread cookies, ornaments, candy canes, and of course Christmas.
Over the month of January we are going to be doing lots of fun activities involving mittens, winter, arctic animals, and the alphabet.
Important Reminders:
-With the cold weather please remember snow gear so we can all stay warm.
-Please remember to bring home sleeping bags and water bottles on Friday and return them on Monday clean.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments!

Hello Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful time spending the holidays with family and loved ones. Welcome to January!
This month we will be exploring winter-themed learning in our classroom. Our focus will include winter, mittens, Arctic animals, and an alphabet theme.
Reminders:
· Please remember to take your child’s water bottle and sleeping bag home every Friday to be washed.
· Be sure your child has weather-appropriate clothing in their cubby, including extra warm layers for winter.
We’re excited for a great start to the new year!

Hello Families!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Years! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! Can you believe how fast this year has flown by already?
Throughout the month of December we focused on the following themes: Ornaments & Gingerbread; Snowmen & Candy Canes; Christmas (we focused on Christmas for two weeks), and then ended the month focusing on the New Years! We ended up with many creative and hands-on activities such as Shaving Cream Candy Canes, Puffy Paint Melted Snowmen, Christmas Light Suncatchers, we made Christmas gifts for our parents, and Paper Plate Noise Makers to celebrate the New Year!
Next month’s themes includes: Mittens, Winter, Arctic Animals, and the Alphabet! We have so many activities and art projects planned for the next month! We cannot 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!
