Pre-K is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. We look forward to providing the best possible learning environment to educate the “whole” child. Each child will progress at his/her own rate, acquiring skills as s/he is developmentally ready. Maintaining each child’s self-esteem and building a secure foundation for future growth will always remain a priority in our center. With teamwork and cooperation among parents, teachers, and students, we will have a successful year!

• Please send a change of clothes, including underwear, socks, shirt and pants in a Ziploc bag with your child’s name. Extra shoes are also acceptable but not required.
   

• A quiet rest time, known as “brain break,” will be offered. Your child will need a blanket (no sleeping bags) that will be sent home every Friday for laundering. Your child will not be required to nap, but will be asked to quietly engage in an activity if they do not fall asleep. A small stuffed animal (a.k.a. nap buddy) is allowed if it will fit in a small lunch size paper bag. The animal is for snuggling not playing.
   

• Students go outside to recess each day weather permitting. Please send appropriate outwear with your child daily when the weather gets colder. Please write your child’s name in the jacket or coat.
   

• Students are expected to take care of their toileting needs and routines. Your child will be coached to change their clothes when accidents occur. Parents will be called to assist in changing clothes when a BM accident occurs.
