We are excited for an entirely new season of fun at preschool: Hello Spring!
Easter Cross Decorating
Help us celebrate the resurrection and add to the decoration of our preschool throughout April as we observe and honor the significance of Good Friday and Easter Sunday by adding a flower to our preschool cross in the parking lot.
Everyone is invited to bring a flower to place on our cross. Please stop by and gently tuck your special floral donation into the ropes that entwine it.
Preschool Chapel – Thursday, April 2nd
Our Fruit of the Spirit for April is Faithfulness. What a perfect fruit to reflect God’s plan and promise through His Son, Jesus Christ. We will read and discuss what transpired on Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
Good Friday – Friday, April 3rd – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
As we reflect on the sacrifice and meaning of Good Friday, we remember…
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2
Easter Sunday – Sunday, April 5th
24On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” 8 Then they remembered his words. Luke 24:1-8
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Matthew 28:5-6
Hallelujah, He is risen!!
Easter Monday – Monday, April 6th – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:16-20
Week of the Young Child – Monday, April 6th – Friday, April 10th
Every year, we celebrate the wonderful children we serve and the unique world they inhabit with exciting, week-long festivities. Each day will have its own theme and special events to look forward to. This week is a national celebration that emphasizes the importance of this fundamental and transformative stage of life. Oh, to be a young child! Parents are welcome to participate and volunteer; please check with your class to see how you can get involved.

As we cruise toward the end of the year, we wanted to share a few helpful hints, reminders, and requests.
DOORS & KIDS – Many of our kids want to be helpful by opening doors; this is great if a parent or teacher is nearby, but it can be risky if they aren’t. Our goal is to prevent accidents or injuries.
When dropping off or picking up, please make sure you are with your child before they try to open or go through any of our doors, especially those leading to our parking lot.
SIGNING IN – As a state-licensed facility, we are required to obtain physical signatures from parents and guardians at drop-off and pick-up. Please make sure you sign in and out each day. The preschool will be held responsible and may be fined for any missing signatures.
PLAYING AT PICK-UP, CLASSROOM RATIOS, AND TEACHER RESPONSIBILITIES – When picking up at the end of the day, please be mindful of the other students and teachers who may still be present in the environment.
Our wonderful staff is legally responsible for the children currently signed in for the day. However, due to ratios and safety concerns, they cannot supervise children who have signed out, especially if they are from a different class. That is why we ask adults to limit their time in classrooms and when passing through our outdoor spaces, patios, and yards.
Additionally, as a licensed facility, we are not allowed to let older or younger siblings who aren’t enrolled in the preschool play in our environment during our normal hours. While siblings can come for drop-off and pick-up, they must always stay with an adult in the preschool.
Families are welcome to spend some time in the lobby to visit the turtles, browse or borrow a book from our lending library, check out the “Zany Zoo” on your way out, or enjoy the swing. When using the swing, please be mindful of the parking lot and cross traffic.
