New and Reminders 2024

Can you believe that it’s already March? We are about to spring into spring and can hardly wait to see what hatches around the preschool.

Classrooms have sent out our mid-year reports via email for all the kiddos. Be sure to take a look. Teachers will happily chat with parents who want to discuss the year’s progress and future.

Did you know Dr. Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham using only 50 words?

Published in 1960, the book originated as a wager between Random House publisher/co-founder Bennett Cerf and Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss.  “Bennett Cerf bet me I couldn’t write a book using 50 words or less, and I wanted to show him that I could,” Dr. Seuss.

Over the past 60 years, Dr. Seuss’ books and stories have shaped and continue to impact early childhood literature. We will celebrate him and his contributions at preschool by reading several of his books this year. Thank you, Dr. Seuss, for firing our imaginations and our love of rhyme and introducing us to the worlds inside of books.

Did you miss our first picture days, or are you hoping for a redo? Make-up Picture Day will be our last chance to capture those preschool smiles officially. Please let us know if you need your picture taken by stopping by the front desk.

*Tuesday/Thursday friends are welcome to drop by and take their pictures, too.

Our Fruit of the Spirit for March is Gentleness. We will explore what it means to be gentle and read the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

As it is March, we will also discuss St. Patrick, his ministry, and how he used the clover to explain the nature of the trinity, three in one. Chapel is always a wonderful time spent together in worship, fellowship, and the praise of the Lord.

Our last Teacher In-service Day of the year. These days are crucial and provide 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 we do in service to the children and families.

The main campus will be CLOSED for their Mini-Spring Break on Monday, March 11th, and Tuesday, March 12th.

Will you be joining us for our Preschool Fun in the Sun or Kinder Camp this year?

If so, be sure to turn in your summer camp registration forms ASAP. Don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of the fun at the preschool this summer and to divide your summer tuition into two payments.

*Hard copies of our summer registration packets are available in the preschool lobby.

With a touch of the blarney, we will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year with leprechauns, shamrocks, and so much more. The story of St. Patrick is also an excellent time to talk about the call to spread the gospel to the world.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

Holy Week ✝️🕊️🐣

We’ve had a fun and eventful week in Room 3! The children enjoyed Easter art projects, Bible stories, and chapel. We even found some bunnies up in the loft!

One of our families was able to come in and do a fun cooking project with the class. We learned how to make rice balls and ate them all, yum!

Pizza party! 🍕

Since it’s finally starting to feel like Spring, we got to enjoy lots of outside time, including a picnic snack and a special music and movement activity.

Another one of our wonderful parents led us in song and dance.
Hopping even higher than bunnies 🐰

Last but not least, our Easter chapel!

Fun Before Winter Break

Last week we had our Grandparents Day and annual Happy Birthday Jesus celebration. A big thank you to everyone that came out and made it all the more fun.

On Monday and Tuesday we had our pajama and hot cocoa day. We got to watch a Christmas movie and have fun all day relaxing in our cozy pajamas!

And to top it off, our very own Mr. Tim came and read to us “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” in his awesome Grinch pajamas. Hope everyone has a wonderful winter vacation celebrating Jesus and remembering the true reason for this season ! ❤️🎄

Christmas Spirit in Room 2!

This week in the afternoon we got to decorate our Christmas tree in Room 2! One by one we hung up the ornaments to make our tree colorful. Now our classroom is “beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

At the big yard’s dramatic play center our friends got to dress up like the shepherds who came to visit baby Jesus.

For the “12 days of Christmas” our friends wore fun Christmas hats and headbands to show Christmas spirits! Look how darling we look. We love Christmas time at PCS!
