Can you believe we are already in the last month of the school year? The time has flown by since our first week together in August. We have had a fantastic year at the preschool and are excited about what will come over our remaining weeks together.
American Sign Language Student Visit – Wed, May 1st
A group of ASL students from Maranatha High School will be coming to read to the older pod. While one student reads a developmentally appropriate book, additional students will sign the words. We look forward to seeing the “big kids,” hearing the stories, and learning a few new hand signs.

Open House – Friday, May 10th, MINIMUM DAY 12 NOON DISMISSAL
We are hosting our Open House at the preschool from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; this is a drop-by event. Each classroom will be working hard to spruce up and prepare for a visit from all of our families.

They will be hosting their Open House from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Preschool Chapel – Friday, May 17th
Our Fruit of the Spirit for the month of May is Goodness. We will discuss what happened after Christ rose from the tomb and how God sent us a special helper, the Holy Spirit, to guide us as we follow Jesus.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Memorial Day – Monday, May 27th – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
The preschool will be closed to celebrate and remember all the brave men and women who have and continue to uphold and defend our nation here in the United States and around the world. Their service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated and deserve profound recognition and unceasing gratitude. Thank you for your service.
Aloha Days! – Wednesday, May 29th & Thursday, May 30th – MINIMUM DAYS
We felt that aloha was the perfect sentiment for the last two days of our preschool year. So, hello to summer, goodbye to our year together, and of course, I love you.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we invite all the kids to dress in their brightest, most tropical, and Hawaiian best. We will also celebrate our year’s conclusion with special photo ops at drop-off and much more.
Preschool Promotion for Rooms 1 & 2 – Wednesday, May 29th @ 6PM
This year has been amazing! It is a blessing to watch the children grow up, and we are excited to celebrate those students who will be moving on to the next phase of school, whether here at PCS or beyond.
This year, we will host our traditional promotion ceremony on the main campus in the auditorium from 6 to 7 PM. The Room 1 & 2 kiddos have been rehearsing some adorable songs and can hardly wait to share them.
Keep your eyes peeled for your invitation with all the details.
Preschool Closed – Friday, May 31st through Friday, June 7th
The preschool will be closed to students for cleaning and summer prep. However, the preschool office will be open to answer questions and help with any summer paperwork that may still need to be completed before the start of camp.
First Day of Fun in the Sun Summer Camp – Monday, June 10th
Our first session of Fun in the Sun: Rockin’ Rainforest! and Kinder Camp will kick off on Monday, June 10th. Summers at the preschool are chock-full of good times and new adventures, and we can hardly wait to get started.
Summer Camp Registration
Will you join this year’s “Fun in the Sun” summer camp? If so, be sure to turn in your registration forms ASAP. Spaces are filling up fast, and we only have a few left. Summer camp is FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, so don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of the fun at preschool this summer.
Just a friendly reminder of our Preschool Parking Lot Rules/Requests
- Please drive carefully, keeping an eye on speed and kiddos in the lot.
- Children should be directed to stay on the sidewalk during pick-up and drop-off except when accessing their vehicles. Little people are very hard to spot between cars.
- Our lot’s limited spaces make quick drop-offs and pick-ups ideal.
Thanks for helping us keep our little ones safe, healthy, and happy.
