OUR VOTING WEEK!

Learning about our community this month was kicked off with a week about voting and it was EPIC!! The children took it very seriously and had many experiences to vote for their favorites all week. What a great time of year to discuss our freedoms!

We read many stories about past presidents, voting, and our country.

Our Voting Polls - We voted every day on important preschool issues.

    

The teachers were the candidates and we each campaigned!

REGISTRATION DAY!!

Our registration day is FRIDAY, AUGUST 19th. This is going to be a busy day so we are going to break it down by class:
Mon - Friday preschoolers: 11:00 - 12:00
MWF preschoolers 12:00 - 1:00
T TH preschoolers 1:00 - 2:00
You can, of course, come anytime that works for you between 11 -2. But this schedule will help us minimize traffic.

I will email paperwork to everyone next week so you can fill it out ahead of time. I will also have forms in the classroom if that is easier for you. There is a non-refundable $25 fee that is due on the 19th. All checks must be made out to Adams Elementary School.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and we will see you at registration!!

I LOVE TO TEACH PRESCHOOL!!

We are filling up so fast, and I ALWAYS appreciate the parents who enroll their children with me and trust me and my staff to provide experiences for their children to succeed. We love it! Absolutely.

There are a few preschools in Rexburg, and many of them do a fabulous job. When looking for a preschool, and so many of them seem so great, how do you choose? Research shows that one of the main indicators that your child will be successful is child-to-teacher ratio. Without enough teachers in the room, needs are simply not met for every child. When the child-to-teacher ratio is in check, children's needs - academic and social - are fulfilled. In early childhood classrooms, there should never be more than 6 children to 1 teacher. In our classroom, we keep the ratio between 3 to 4 children to 1 teacher. It's definitely something to think about. 

We love being associated with Adams Elementary School. We love our facilities; the classroom that feels like "real school", the playground, the gym inside the school.... the environment that children go to school in sets them up for future success. Our principal tells me that his favorite thing about the preschool is how prepared the children are, in every way, to enter kinder. He feels, and so do I, that offering children the affordance of a true classroom setting sets the stage for their next milestone - kindergarten! 

We are very focused on meeting developmental milestones in all domains of development. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that prepares children in every way to be participants in their own learning. We build self-efficacy in children through hands on experiences. All of our teachers hold degrees in Child Development and they know their stuff!! I am always impressed with their creative lessons as they engage the children and support them in skill building. 

When considering a preschool, please make sure your teacher is qualified to teach, meaning she or he has a degree in the field of child dev or early childhood education (they are the most qualified to work with this specific age group) and that they follow the important guidelines of proper child-to-teacher ratios, and they are prepared to meet all of the needs of the children (social, cognitive, physical, emotional). 

Thank you, as always, for reading! 

WHAT'S FULL, WHAT'S NOT

Our Monday through Friday MORNING class is full.
Our MWF MORNING and AFTERNOON classes are full.

We still have room in Monday - Friday afternoon, and T/TH morning and afternoon.

Space is limited, however, and filling quickly. You can call, text, or email me for information and to place your child in one of the available classes. Thanks!!

GETTING FULL FAST

We have opened a second classroom, and as of September we will have two preschool classroom running in full swing! We are super excited about this; it allows us to enroll more children instead of keeping people on a wait list, and it creates jobs! We'll be hiring two new teachers for the fall.

Class times are listed above. Because of this new classroom, we have additional room. Please let me know if you'd like a spot.

Registration day is August 19th. At that time you can come to the preschool, fill out the paper work, and pay the $25 registration fee. Save the date!
