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!
August is packed with fun and imagination in Class 3-1! We’ll kick things off with magical adventures during our Mythical Creatures week—think dragons, unicorns, and a sprinkle of fairy dust! Then we’ll clown around with Carnivals, Fairs, and the Circus, enjoying games, pretend play, and colorful crafts. Mid-month, we’ll explore all our favorite characters during Disney Week, from princesses to talking animals. Finally, we’ll wrap up with Back to School fun—getting ready for routines, making new friends, and building excitement for the year ahead!
Thanks for sharing your little ones with us!

Happy August families!
This summer has gone by so fast! This last month we had fun with our water days and celebrating the Fourth of July!
This next month we will be talking about Fairs, Disney, Back to school, and we even let the kiddos choose a week of what they want to talk about! We’re hoping to get in some more water days as well!
Please remember to bring home water bottles and sleeping bags every Friday and return them clean on Mondays. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

Hello Families!
How crazy is it that we’re already at the end of Summer? These last few months have flown by quickly! I can officially say that every single one of the kiddos in my class are all 4 year olds! And they are sure quite proud of it!
For July, we started off the month focusing on Camping! We built a tent in our classroom; we were able to enjoy some hotdogs around our fake campfire; and made a delicious s'more trail mix! Next, we explored Outer Space. We spent that week making Paper Plate Aliens, taste tested some asteroids (cheeseballs), and made ourselves astronaut masks! We spent the last two weeks of July focusing on Transportation (in honor of EAA) and Fruit & Vegetables! We had many fun art projects such as Watercolor Monster Trucks, Paper Plate Airplanes, Bubble Wrap Stamped Pineapple, and Paper Plate Tomatoes! During the week of Fruits and Vegetables, we made a delicious smoothie using fresh fruits! The kiddos sure did love it!
For the month of August, our themes will consist of: Kid’s Choice, Carnivals/Fairs and Circus, Disney, and Back to School. Typically, I would come up with a theme for each week. However, for the first week of August I decided to ask the kiddos and see what we would focus on each day of that week! 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!
