Welcome back to a new school year! We’ve had such a wonderful start together in these first two days. Our kiddos have been busy exploring—painting, building with Legos, and dancing. They’ve also enjoyed digging in the sand, splashing in the water, and rolling out playdough.
We have had such a great summer! We have been playing in water, sand , bubbles and more! Today we had pump n splash water play and a pizza party! We look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks for our new school year!
Summer is at an end, and we want to showcase some of the fun times that we had together.
We had lots of birthdays to celebrate this summer, and our lovely parents have provided us with special snacks to help us celebrate. Special snacks can be cut fruit, juice boxes, allergy friendly granola bites, and can sometimes be as grand as popsicles or a pizza party!
We also had lots of water and bubble play to cool ourselves from the summer heat. Water pads and preschool car washes were the crowd favorites.
We enjoyed lots of ocean-themed art projects and dancing. We would have the children dance to songs without looking at the screen to see how well they remembered the movements. We also identified shapes while doing glow in the dark dancing with glow sticks and our colorful classroom lights.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our Heavenly Father, so we would praise Him by reading Bible stories together in the classroom and at chapel with the whole preschool each week.
We are grateful for all of the fun we’ve had with our friends, and we send prayers to the families who will not return in the Fall. We pray the Lord will be with you in your transitions and give you grace and patience for yourselves and each other. Take care, and God bless 🙏.
“PIRATE DAY”The children crafted pirate hats, treasure maps, and telescopes, adorning them with shiny sequins, rings, and coins.“OCEAN SPECIAL SNACK”
The kiddos assembled their special snack, starting with half a graham cracker. Next, they spread a vibrant blue frosting and then crowned it with one Swedish Fish—mmm, mmm, mmm!
“SCIENCE”
We’ve had such a fun and educational time in preschool lately, diving into activities that help our little learners grow! For math skills, we’ve been observing just how big our “grow creatures” grew, giving the children a hands-on way to explore measurement and comparison. It’s wonderful to see their excitement as they watch things change and get bigger! To sharpen their fine motor skills and spark creativity, we also enjoyed a fantastic art project: “Fish in a Bowl”. Using stickers and markers, the children created their own vibrant underwater scenes, which is not only fun but also excellent for developing their hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity. We’re always finding new ways to make learning an engaging adventure!Water BeadsFun Ocean Stickers
It is week two of our summer program, and the children in Class #3 have already begun to adjust and feel at home in their new environment. It didn’t take long for them to become comfortable with the classroom and their new teachers. They are having a great time exploring their creativity through art activities and water play. One of the biggest highlights in the class has been the loft, which the kids are thoroughly enjoying. It’s been a fun and exciting start to the summer!
Noodles, beach balls, inflatable beach toys, leis and mermaid dress up is what the kids are play on the loft.ART, KNETIC SANDHere we are making scallop shells and watching our science experiment change daily, the fish grew from a small one inch sea creature to a six fish.BUBBLE BLOWING PRINTSSPLASH PAD FUN AND SNOW CONESWater tables, catching fish and keeping coolCHAPEL WITH MR. TIM
It is always fun to hear Mr. Tim play the ukulele, sing, and lead us in worship. So far, we’ve had two Bible lessons with him. The first was about Noah, where we learned Psalm 139:1 and sang “Wherever I Go” and “Always.” The second lesson was about Jonah, focusing on 1 John 5:15, and we sang “O the Deep, Deep Sea.” Mr. Tim makes learning about God exciting and joyful through music and stories.
Summer is off to a great start! We have been playing in the water, eating snow cones, playing on the yard and in our classroom. Stay tuned for more fun!
God truly showered us with blessings throughout this school year. We learned so much from one another, and as the days went by, our kiddos continued to bless us with joy, laughter, and the sweetest hugs.
Words cannot fully express the love we felt from each of our students and the incredible kindness and support from our parents. Your care made a lasting impact on our classroom community.
We enjoyed so many fun activities together, explored new learning techniques, and built strong language skills. But above all, we grew in love, respect, and connection with each other.
Thank you all for being such a meaningful part of this journey!
Can you believe we are already in the last month of the school year? Time has flown by since our first week together in August! We have had a wonderful year at preschool, and we are excited about what is still to come in the weeks ahead.

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.
