Watch for the family tree project we will be sending home. Talk with your child about your family as you cut, color and glue. Enjoy!

Program Goals and Highlights :

The Preschool for All Program is a language based program which stresses HANDS-ON learning activities. The many activities and experiences available in our classroom will stimulate and encourage development of the WHOLE CHILD including physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional, personal, and creative development. Enhancement of the child’s self esteem and confidence is the primary goal of the staff. The children will be encouraged to engage in frequent conversations with their classmates and adults in the class. It is very important that you notify us of any food allergies!  

 We urge parent volunteering in the Preschool for All Program. Parents and caregivers are a wonderful addition to our classroom and have a positive influence on the children’s performance in school. The purpose of parent volunteering is to involve the parent in the child’s learning experience. This encourages and fosters the child’s learning experiences and increases parent’s active involvement in the educational experience.
