Last week before Spring Break – Preschool 1

In: Level 1 - Newman/Park

For this last week before Spring Break, we finished up our Ocean unit, as well as tried to spend as much time as possible outside, enjoying this very warm weather. We focused on the letter U, by talking about all the words we could think of that starts with U. Our U (underwater) art involved counting five circles, five triangles and five eyeballs, in order to make fish for our underwater scene. We continue to work on our number recognition and counting, using a one-to-one correspondence. We wrapped up our ocean unit by learning about jellyfish, painting with watercolors, and making “slime” that was intended to look like the ocean :). Playing with our slime brought us right into focusing on our five senses. We will just spend a few days on this before we move into our study of dinosaurs after spring break. Today we enjoyed music with Mr. Williams. The children always enjoy this special time with that very talented teacher! We measured ingredients and baked bread for our snack. We even tasted (or in most cases, just smelled) olives. We will have more sensory surprises when we come back from break!

Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Friday, and all of next week. We look forward to seeing you all back the week of April 3rd. Enjoy spring break!

A Wonderful Experience For All Of Us

What a wonderful experience for all of us! Both of my girls thrived in the preschool’s nurturing, hands-on environment, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in the care of the warm and experienced teachers everyday. I highly recommend this preschool because it successfully prepares children for kindergarten and beyond, and the teachers and Director truly care about every child’s well-being.

A Wonderful Start

Both of our children were given such a wonderful start to their education! From the Director to the teachers, everyone is so professional, fun and warm. My children flourished in the small class sizes. I cannot recommend this program enough!

Amazing Staff

Your staff is amazing! Typically teacher turn-over in early childhood is high. It is obvious to me and my friends that your teachers love coming to work every day! I am also impressed with the qualifications of your staff! Everyone is passionate about working with young children.

Warmly Welcomed

A visiting parent stated: “I was warmly welcomed. The Director took time to answer all of my questions. The teacher even invited my daughter to join her class for snack and story time so I could visit each classroom and talk with the Director.”

Above and Beyond

The Preschool was a home away from home for me. I felt at ease bringing my children everyday to smiling faces and warm embraces. The teachers are amazing! The curriculum is on task with what preschoolers should be learning and the teachers made learning fun, instead of being a “chore.” All of the teachers AND the Director went above and beyond to make each child feel special, loved and treasured. Each teacher knows just how to motivate the children and encourages them to do their best. In addition, there were projects outside of school to instill in the children how to become a helpful part of society. What a wonderful school with a terrific staff. From the holiday programs to the projects in class, I’d recommend this program to anyone who has the opportunity to attend a preschool.

No Hungry Bellies

Due to my busy schedule I forgot my child’s lunch box a couple of times. The Director and my child’s teacher told me not to worry. They lovingly made lunch for my son. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated their kindness.

The Extra Mile

What a fabulous learning experience for children! My two children learned so much in an enjoyable and caring environment. The staff constantly goes the extra mile for the children. Each child feels valued and loved. I highly recommend this positive learning experience to others.
