Open House for the New Pre-Kindergarten class will be Friday, September 10th, at 8:30 am. It's a great way for the students to get acquainted with their classroom and teacher. At the meeting, we will discuss all the exciting happenings and expectations of Pre-K. If you can't attend, all the information will be given to you on the first day of school, which is Monday, September 13th for the Pre-K 4 year olds and on Tuesday for the Pre-K 3 year olds.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year with my students!

The Pre-Kindergarten has two programs – the Pre-K 4 year olds (the Shooting Stars) and the Pre-K 3 year olds (the Ducklings). Classes for the Shooting Stars are five days a week from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. Classes for the Ducklings are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. We also have an optional full day program for the Shooting Stars, which ends at 2:50 pm.For the Ducklings and the Shooting Stars, we have Religion, Art, alphabet lessons, Math, Yoga and low impact aerobics, Center time filled with many activities, Snack, and Circle time. Our Circle time involves books, book discussions, phonetics, short games, and songs. In addition to that, the Shooting Stars have a Physical Education lesson, Science, and Music lessons. Our Science program is quite extensive and provides more than basic concepts. We learn much about plants, the human body, winter-themed concepts such as static electricity, matter, and how to use microscopes.
