End of Daylight Savings – Sunday, Nov. 3rd
It is time for us to reset our clocks as we “Fall Back” by one hour. This small change will impact our kiddos, from emotional drop-offs to concerns about how dark it gets while they’re still at school. The classrooms will discuss the time change, and we are prepared to support the children as they adjust.
As it gets darker and colder earlier, we will transition from afternoons spent in the yard and on the patios to afternoons spent inside the classrooms.
End of the Day Classrooms:
Older Pod – Rm 2 for Rm 1 & 2
Younger Pod – Rm 5 for Rm 4 & 5 Friends (Rm 3 will remain in their room.)
Toddlers – Toddler A for all our toddler friends.
Preschool Chapel – Friday, Nov. 8th
This month’s chapel will focus on the story of Noah’s Ark. The children adore this story and its emphasis on family, animals, and listening to God. We can hardly wait to worship and praise God together.

Happy Birthday, Jesus! – SATURDAY, December 14th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Happy Birthday, Jesus is a SATURDAY MORNING EVENT. This annual tradition will occur at the preschool and on the PCS main campus in the auditorium.
From 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., we will host craft activities at the preschool in all of our preschool classrooms. Children and families are welcome to visit each room to make/create a Christmas craft to take.
At 11:00 a.m., all the parents and family members will drop off their preschoolers in their classrooms and then go to the auditorium to grab a seat for our Happy Birthday, Jesus performance. Each classroom prepares seasonal songs to share with our families (our toddlers we parade but not perform). Seeing the kiddos perform as we ring in the season together as a preschool family is such a treat.
