We will go on 2 field trips each year to the Apple Orchard/pumpkin patch and the Fire station.. Dates will be available as soon as we are able to secure an appointment with the venue and will be included in the monthly newsletter in advance. Parents will be responsible to transport their own child and stay with us at each field trip. The field trip takes the place of preschool for that day.
There will be 4 classroom parties to celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and the End-of-the-Year. Each party will occur on the closest preschool day to the actual holiday. Please check monthly newsletter for dates and times.
We will also make sure to celebrate birthdays by having special privileges for the day (line leader and “gets-to-go-first” for the whole day) and of course a birthday song. Treats are welcome, but please coordinate with teacher in advance.
Children do not need to be fully potty trained to come to school, we can offer limited assistance in the bathroom if necessary.

Curriculum

While there are many ways to help kids get ready for kindergarten, We prefer to use a theme-based curriculum. We will study a theme for the month and incorporate it into our art, math, literacy, science and free play. The kids have so much fun becoming experts on each theme and can build upon what they learn from one class to the next. Themes can range from "farm and zoo animals" to "all things wheels”. Our activities are Montessori inspired as well as play based. We find value in both philosophies and incorporate them into our curriculum daily.
