Welcome Back!




The school year has officially begun and we are off to a great start! Our enrollment is encouraging and it has been a delight to reconnect with families and meet new faces!

Please be patient as we transition for a more structured schedule. Your little one is getting back into gear and there are a lot of new things for them to learn and remember. You will see things falling into place if you are consistent in bringing them to class. This along with your positive encouragement and support gives them the best opportunity to learn and grow from this cooperative experience.


Our first parent meeting is a required meeting held at the preschool on September 21 @ 6pm. Please, parents only, and bring your favorite appetizer to share and something for yourself to drink.

A few quick reminders:

*Please remember that when I have the students in circle time, any parents that are signed up to work that day should be preparing the craft, cleaning tables, and organizing/cleaning the toys.

*If you are bringing extra children or younger siblings to class please be advised of the following changes:
1. You will need to provide your own snacks and drinks for the extra children.
2. Younger siblings will not be allowed into the classroom during circle time. This is an opportunity for the student's to share and focus on listening skills alongside their letter identification. Younger siblings are often a distraction and need to stay in the play area under your supervision during this time. Thank you for your understanding.

*You might have noticed by the parent workstation a "Giving Tree." There are apples hanging from the tree indicating supplies that we are out of or might be running low. This is set up so that you can see what supplies are needed to help our classroom operate smoothly. At your earliest convenience, please purchase 1 bag of playsand from your local hardware store for our sandbox area.

Thanks for all of your work already! Remember, this is a PARENT RUN cooperative preschool. We thrive on encouragement and working together to make this the best environment for your child.
