End of Daylight Savings – Sunday, Nov. 2^nd

It’s time to reset our clocks as we “Fall Back” by one hour. This minor adjustment can affect our kids, leading to emotional drop-offs and concerns about how dark it gets while they’re still at school. Classrooms will address the time change, and we are ready to support the children as they adjust to this shift.

As the days grow darker and colder earlier, we will transition from spending afternoons outdoors in the yard and on patios to spending them inside the classrooms.

End of the Day Classrooms:

Older Pod – Rm 1 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. 7^th

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 eagerly await the opportunity to worship and praise God together.

From our preschool family to yours…

We are thankful for many things, including love, laughter, and the joy that children bring.

For the hugs and tears, and the bumps we encounter along the way, we are grateful for each new day.

We thank the Lord for His unending love and for the gifts we receive from above.

We also thank Him for the gift of you and for all the wonderful things you say and do.

May God bless you on this Thanksgiving Day. We are truly grateful that you chose our preschool and came to play.

Blessings,
Pasadena Christian Preschool
