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 families and friends!
We had a very busy and fun month of September. We spent time getting to know Ms. Hailey and the other friends in our class. We learned about back to school, colors, apples, and fall! As we get into the cooler weather, please send a sweatshirt and longer pants for outside time. Please double check your child’s cubby for any paperwork that needs to go home or artwork! Next month’s themes will be community helpers, farms, pumpkins, and Halloween. We are going to have 2 new friends join us in our classroom in October. We are excited to welcome them to our 3-1 family! Please reach out on Lillio with any questions or concerns. Have a great month!

Happy October families!
This last month has been so much fun getting to know your kiddos!!
Last month we talked about leaves and acorns, we talked about apples and even got to try a few different types of apples.
This next month is filled with us talking about community helpers and having a fire truck come to us, as well as talking about pumpkins and farms, and finishing the month out with Halloween.
Please remember to bring water bottles and sleeping bags home on Fridays to be cleaned. Also please bring in a light jacket for morning play times as some mornings it’s a little chilly.

Hello!
Can you believe it’s already fall? September was such a busy month for the kiddos and I! From getting to know our new friends to learning new routines while adjusting to a new environment, the kids are doing such an amazing job!
Throughout the month of September we focused on themes such as All About Me/Getting to Know You, Colors, Apples, Fall, and Leaves & Acorns! We did so many different art projects such as Sticker Name Art, Color Foil Transfer Monster Art, Apple Suncatchers, Toilet Roll Stamped Autumn Trees, and Handprint Leaf! We had such a great time with all of these creative art projects!
As we welcome in October, our themes for this month will consist of: Community Helpers, Farms, Pumpkins, and Halloween! We have so many hands-on 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 Lillio or to me personally!
Ms. Caroline & the 3’s III Class
