Preschool Weekly Update – week of 10/6

“Each child is a different kind of flower, and all together, they make this world a beautiful garden”

-UNKNOWN

Dear Parents,

We had a wonderful start to our fall theme! Our first week, “Farm Animals,” brought out some of the most adorable and creative artwork from the children. This week, we continue our journey “In the Barn” with more fun activities and learning experiences.

I’m looking forward to meeting with each of you this week to share your child’s September portfolio. These 15-minute conferences offer a snapshot of how your child is developing in our program.

School Survey

On Wednesday, October 1, an email was sent with a link to our school survey. We kindly ask that you complete the survey by Friday, October 10.

• It contains only 21 questions and should take just a few minutes.
• Our goal is 100% family participation, so we can gain a well-rounded understanding of our strengths and areas for growth.

Thank you in advance for helping us enhance our school programs!
