News and Reminders 2026
We adore the month of love and look forward to all the exciting things that will happen over the next four weeks!
Preschool Chapel – Thursday, February 5th
It is the month of love, and we focus on where love comes from. After all, G.O.D. is L.O.V.E. We look forward to coming together to worship and celebrate God’s love for each of us and our love for Him and for each other.
1 John 4:7-12
Valentine’s Day Parties – Thursday, Feb. 12th & Friday, Feb 13th
Each classroom will celebrate the holiday with special festivities on both Thursday, February 12th, and Friday, February 13th. Please keep an eye out for classroom-specific details about what they’ll be doing. This includes how each classroom will handle Valentine’s Day favors.
Here are a few quick suggestions…
- Avoid edible treats. Instead, themed pencils, crayons, erasers, stickers, or other small items would make a great gift.
- Simple and small is always best.
- On the cards, sign – To: My Friend From: Your Child’s Name
- Due to flux schedules, not all the kids know each other, but it is easier to give to everyone than to figure out who comes on which day. The classrooms will provide a total headcount for each room.
- Avoid the “Boy/Girl” Valentine trap. Allow your child to choose the Valentins they wish to give, rather than worrying about how many boys and girls there are. The kids get so much more from the reflected diversity of their peers’ interests and what they want to give.
- There is no obligation to give out Valentine’s cards/treats, but you are welcome to participate as you see fit.
Presidents’ Day – Mon., Feb. 16th – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
While we don’t typically do a deep study of American history or civics as a part of the preschool experience, we are happy to celebrate two of our nation’s most influential leaders and the role presidents play in shaping and guiding our country.
Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God. – George Washington
My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right. – Abraham Lincoln
Picture Days – Thurs., Feb. 20th & Fri, Feb. 21st
It is time to capture those adorable preschool smiles once again! Preschool Picture Days have arrived.
The preschool will host School Pictures from Julie Lilly Photography on Thursday, February 19th, and Friday, February 20th. Please look out for more information from your child’s teachers about which day has been assigned to you.
Families will receive an envelope for their child’s picture purchase the week prior to Picture Days (February 9th-13th). Please complete and return to the preschool office on or before Picture Day.
Please let us know if you have any questions; we are happy to help!!
Elks Vision Screening – Tuesday, Feb. 24th & Wednesday, Feb. 25th
The Elks Vision Screening is a free service offered to preschool children across California and Hawaii. The screening will be held on campus, in the Art Studio, as a special event for our students. Teachers will help by guiding students and assisting throughout the process. If you want to participate in this program, please fill out a vision screening form at drop-off or pick-up at the Front Desk. Children need a Vision Screening Form to take part. Hard copies are available at the preschool.
Vision Screen Forms will be available at the preschool front desk the week of February 16th.
PCS Orchestra Visit – Thursday, Feb. 26th
The “Big Kids” will be visiting the preschool to perform a special concert just for us! We’re always so excited to host the PCS Orchestra students, listen to their performances, and learn about their instruments. Especially since some of them used to be our preschoolers, too. From preschoolers to instrumentalists—something for our current kiddos to look forward to as they prepare to move up to the elementary campus one day.
Staying Healthy at Preschool
We want to thank all of our families for their support and understanding as we navigate the winter months and the challenges of keeping our preschool healthy and safe. A few things to keep in mind…
If you notice your child is under the weather or showing signs of illness, please exercise caution, keep them home, and monitor their condition. While most preschool illnesses are common and pass quickly, some are much more concerning, such as RSV.
State regulations also remind us that children may not attend school if they have had a fever, vomited, or had diarrhea in the last 24 hours. This means that if your child experiences any of these conditions, they must stay home from school the following day and may return the day after. For example, if they have a fever on Monday, the potential first day back would be Wednesday. The same standard applies if a child is sent home from school for any of these issues.
Please know that our team will be monitoring our kiddos, and we will contact families if we spot signs or symptoms while they’re on campus. Conversely, we appreciate parent support in our staff’s discernment regarding a child’s presence at school. Often, a doctor may clear a sick child to return to school, but they may still have minor symptoms, such as a lingering cough or runny nose.
Our team greatly appreciates parent notification when their child is out due to illness. It’s essential for tracking, informing other families if needed, and potentially preventing further spread. Those notifications also give us peace of mind and allow us to keep you in our prayers.
Summer Camp Registration
We are already thinking about those fun, sun-filled summer days, even as we enjoy all that winter (in Southern California) has to offer.

Fun Run with Team Rockets
Room 2 had a blast participating in our school’s Annual Fun Run! Team Rockets ran, walked, skipped, and danced around the track with music pumping and spectators cheering them on. We had so much fun!
We are so grateful to God for our supportive parents and teachers who came out to cheer us on and generously volunteered their time and energy. Your encouragement and support mean so much to us. Thank you for being such a blessing to our school community!
Please enjoy this video of Team Rockets at our Fun Run!

“EVENTFUL JANUARY”
January has been a month full of fun activities. We’ve been rotating between songs and stories about the snow and the farm to prepare the children for what’s to come. We also have done some practice laps to get them ready for the fun run.
We talked about hay, animal sounds, and did different animal movement songs to get ready for the farm. The children went on a hay ride, learned about and picked fruits and veggies, and fed different farm animals.
The snow days were packed with fun building snowmen, sledding down a snow hill, making snow angels and gentle snowball fights.
“SNOW DAYS AT PCS, FUN!”
Snow Day Fun with Room 2 ❄️
Our Room 2 friends had so much fun playing on the snow! We played, laughed, and made special memories together.
Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers for all your help, and thank you to our school for such a fun snow day. We are so grateful!
Farm Day with Room 1
It’s a new year and the weather faired perfect for our annual field trip to Underwood Family Farms!
We had an awesome turnout and just a blast this Friday learning about the phases of vegetation, how to pick certain crops, bumping along on the tractor, plucking vegetables straight out of the ground, feeding farm animals (chickens, goats, potbelly pigs) and more.
God truly blessed our day, and we’re very grateful he allowed everything to go well.
Until next time. Rm 1
Room 2’s Day at the Farm
Our Room 2 families had a wonderful time on our field trip to Underwood Family Farms. We were thankful for the beautiful weather and smooth day as our children arrived excited and ready to explore and learn! We enjoyed the Vegetable Show, where we learned about how produce grows, followed by a fun tractor ride and hands-on experience picking seasonal vegetables to take home.
After lunch, we gathered for the Animal Show and had so much fun watching the farm animals perform fun tricks. We also had the opportunity to walk around and feed some of the animals. It was such a joy to see the children’s curiosity and excitement throughout the day!
We also enjoyed the farm’s play areas, including the slides through farm machinery, tunnels, and wooden trains! We are grateful for the time spent together and for our Room 2 families who joined us and helped make this field trip so special.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1). “You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly” (Psalm 65:9-10). We thank God for His beautiful creation and for a joyful day of exploring, playing, and learning together! 🌾🐷🚜💛
PTF Parent Workshop 2026
Merry and Blessed in Room 4
What a fun and festive-filled December we’ve had! We drank hot cocoa, gathered to enjoy ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas,’ along with our other favorite Christmas stories, and got cozy for our PJ days. Thank you to Mr. Tim for reading the Grinch story to us in Room 4!
The children did an amazing job for Grandparent’s Day and Happy Birthday, Jesus; we are so proud of them!
We wish you a Merry Christmas and may you have a happy New Year (:
News and Reminders 2026
Happy New Year! We are so excited to be back together at preschool in 2026. Here are a few quick reminders about what we will look forward to this month.
Preschool Chapel – Friday, January 9th
This month’s chapel will focus on the Magi’s visit and revisit the details of the nativity story. Often, we see depictions of the Magi worshiping Jesus in the stable, but it actually took them an additional year to find Him. We look forward to exploring the story and uncovering additional details about their significant arrival and the gifts they bring.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Mon., January 19th – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, observed annually on the third Monday in January, honors the life and legacy of the iconic civil rights leader. Dr. King’s commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolence led to transformative change in American society, inspiring generations to fight for civil rights and social justice. The holiday serves as a reminder of his enduring message that progress is achieved through unity, peaceful action, and a deep commitment to justice for all. It is a day for reflection, education, and community service as we continue to work toward the ideals Dr. King championed.
At the preschool, we approach the concept of social justice at an age-appropriate level by acknowledging the meaningful contributions of historical figures such as MLK and, more specifically, by reflecting on the love and nature of God. God teaches us that we are all created in His image (Gen. 1:26), that we are all one in Christ Jesus (Eph. 5:21), that we are called to stand for others (Prob. 31:8-9), and most importantly, to love God and each other. (Matt. 22:37-39, John 15:12).
Farm Day – Friday, January 23rd
Here at last!

Snow Days – Wed, Jan. 28th & Thurs., Jan. 29th
We are excited to announce that it is time for our annual “Snow Days!” Starting Wednesday, January 28th, we are turning the yard into a winter wonderland with snow! The snow will be provided by an external company, Arctic Glacier, which specializes in snow/ice events. Each classroom will have an opportunity to explore the frosty fun as an extension of their classroom’s yard time.
We recommend bundling up your little ones on those days and sending snow-appropriate clothes, footwear, and extra clothes to change into after the event.
*This event will be postponed if the forecast calls for rain on either of our planned days.
