Extra Activities
We have many activities at our preschool that support our children and encourage relationship building among our families:
* Parent Orientation * Meet & Greet * Winter Holiday Program * Field Trips * Splash Days * Community Service* End of Year Program * Thanksgiving Feast and Program *
Parent Orientation – Prior to the start of school, parents will be invited to a virtual meeting to learn all about the preschool and our educators. Parents are encouraged to attend to get all your questions answered.
Meet & Greet – The Friday before school starts, the Preschool hosts a Meet & Greet. This time is set aside to meet the teachers and welcome all children and their families. This is a time to sign up for volunteer opportunities like room parent and holiday activities.
Winter Holiday Program – Before the preschool closes for winter break, the teachers organize a very special afternoon for families. The children sing songs in our beautiful outdoor amphitheater for families and friends. Refreshments are served and this is a great way to welcome the holiday season.
Field Trips – The Preschool schedules special events during the course of the year. We take hikes to Elk Meadow and hope to visit events at RMAE.
Splash Days – The teachers set out pools and water toys for the children and we have all-school Splash Days. It’s a great way to enjoy hot days.
Community Service -We believe in teaching young children that participating in the community is very important to build relationships and show respect for our neighbors. In the past, we have mailed boxes to soldiers, and cleaned around the preschool property. We hope to reestablish our relationship with the Life Care Center and go on visits to meet with the residents.
End of the Year Program & Graduation – This event involves an art show, a performance to showcase some things we have learned, and honoring those who are off to kindergarten.
Thanksgiving Feast and Program – Gratitude is the focus at this event as we have an all school meal together. It’s a great way to begin the Thanksgiving season.
