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

Hi Families!
The kids had so much in February, especially with their Valentine's party. We did lots of fun activities with our other themes like Cupcake Dot Art, Heart and Love Sensory Bin, and making Valentines. Next up in March our themes will be: Dr. Seuss, 5 senses, St. Patrick's Day, Spring, and Easter. It's finally starting to warm up a little, but please still bring all winter gear (especially hats and gloves) just in case. Also please remember, on Fridays, to take home sleeping bags and water bottles to be washed and returned on Monday. Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or comments!

Happy March Families!
We’re just flying through these cold months! Hopefully we start seeing warmer weather.
This last month we had so much fun getting to celebrate Valentine’s Day with all of our friends. Thank you to everyone who brought things in for us.
This next month we’ll get to celebrate Dr. Seuss and Saint Patrick’s Day!
As always, please remember to bring home water bottles and sleeping bags on Fridays to be washed and returned the following Monday! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hello!
February was an eventful month! We had our Valentine’s Day party which was a wonderful turnout! Thank you to those who brought things in for the party! The kiddos and I appreciate it greatly! We celebrated plenty of birthdays this month and also welcomed a new friend into the class along with saying goodbye to another.
We started off the month focusing on Love and Hearts! The kids did many fun crafts such as Marbled Hearts, Heart Scratch Art, and Paper Heart Pizzas. The middle of the month was focused on the following themes: Valentine’s Day and Baking. Some of our art projects consisted of Heart Shaped Ninja Turtles, Cupcake Suncatchers, Paper Plate Blueberry Pie, and Puffy Paint Chocolate Chip Cookies. Lastly, we ended the month exploring the world of Numbers.
For the month of March we will be focusing on the following themes: Dr. Seuss, 5 Senses, St. Patrick's Day, Spring, and Easter! We have so many art projects and hands-on activities planned for the next month! And 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!
