Apple Pumpkin Days – Monday, October 26Th – Wednesday, October 28th

Our annual tradition of Apple Pumpkin Days is just around the corner. We will be celebrating this year’s harvest season during the last week of October with special themed books, activities, and treats. Be sure to watch for emails from your classroom teachers or Room Parents about how you can help support this fun filled fall tradition.

Teacher In-Service Day – Thursday, October 29th 

It is time for our first teacher in-service day of the school year. These days are crucial and provided us the much needed time for training, planning, preparation, and cleaning that can’t be achieved while the children are on campus. We are grateful for these opportunities to grow and improve all that we do in service of the children and families.

Site Update: October 2020

As many of you are aware, we have been dealing with an ongoing bug issue here at the preschool. The mosquito population has grown rapidly over the last few years in Southern California and schools, business, and home owners are all trying to mitigate the impact of these pesky pests. The preschool/school has regular monthly visits from a pest management company that sprays the exterior of our campus with a bio and student friendly bug deterrent. This year, however, we have found that the situation has worsened and after a visit from Vector Control, the campus has decided to take extra measures. This Friday, October 23rd, after the campus closes for the day, we will be spraying a new bug spray around the exterior of our campus. Below you will find the specifics of the compound that our Environmental Services team has elected to use.

We take the safety of our students, families, and staff very seriously and this includes both their exposure to bugs as well as the means to eliminate them. We are grateful for our Environmental Services team and the diligence that they pursue their responsibilities with.

The Great Shakeout!

The Great California ShakeOut - Resources: Web Banners

Today the preschool took part in the Great California Shakeout. Schools, businesses, and companies across the state participate each year in practicing what to do in case of an earthquake. At the preschool we call our “duck and cover” procedure, “Bunnies in the Hole.” All the classes had a fantastic time running through the whole process from “duck and cover” to mustering all the way to the big field on the main campus. They kids did a great job staying safe and listening to their teachers!
