Out with the old, in with the new: Hello 2025!

As we move into a new year, we want to reminisce on how wonderful the last one was. December was especially magical and memorable for us here at PCS. From festive crafts to joyful celebrations, we filled our days with creativity, learning, and laughter. Here is a look back at the activities that made this year extra special:

We decorated our classroom Christmas tree with special ornaments that the kids brought from home.

Our little artists were busy creating seasonal masterpieces! From gingerbread houses to glittery ornaments, the children explored textures, colors, and their imaginations. Some of these crafts were extra special because they were made in collaboration with parents.

The highlights of December were our Grandparent and Happy Birthday Jesus celebrations. Grandparents and parents joined us for songs, crafts, and a special performance by the children. The preschool was filled with joy as we sang holiday songs and shared gratitude to God for a wonderful year.

We read classic holiday stories during outdoor play, in the coziest library nook. We had a delicious hot cocoa treat, in our pajamas, then, Mr. Tim came into our classroom and read a Christmas favorite, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. ‘Twas a wonderfully cheery day!

As we reflect on all the fun and growth from this past year, we’re excited about what the new year will bring. Thank you to our incredible preschool families for your support and involvement.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Fall Fun and Creative Play!

At Pasadena Christian Preschool we believe that play is the foundation of learning. Everyday is filled with fun, laughter, and learning as our little explorers dive into activities designed to spark curiosity and build essential skills. Here’s a glimpse into a typical day in Room 4.

Our days begin with art/craft time with teacher. We are currently reading The Ugly Pumpkin by Dave Horowitz which inspired us to create our own version of “ugly” pumpkins.

Watching children paint with apples during the fall season is pure fun! They are able to discover new textures, create colorful prints, and turn a simple fruit into a canvas for creativity and discovery.

Children love creative play because they get the chance to paint, build with blocks, or explore sensory bins. This type of play helps improve and refine motor skills, encourage problem- solving, and allow them to express their creativity. In this instance, the “trucks are going to work.”

Building community during chapel time; the kids love to sit and worship. Their faces completely light up when Mr. Tim plays songs they recognize with his ukulele, as well as when we listen to Bible stories.

Everyday we spend time in our outdoor play area, where children can run, jump and explore. On this day, we went out to water our garden and learn about the process of how a seed grows in soil.

We are so excited to continue learning.
