Preschool Weekly Update

Dear Preschool Parents,

It was wonderful connecting with you all last night at the “Back to School Night” Zoom. Your children took home their first “Friday Folder” with their class work. Sorry a few didn’t make it out the door with your child we will give it to you on Tuesday morning. We do keep some of their work for our records and will return it during our Teacher /Parent conferences.

Next week more of the children will be staying for a full day of preschool. If your child is a staying for rest time, please speak to them about being respectful to those preschoolers who are napping. We provide quiet play for our non-nappers but ask that they stay quiet while others are sleeping.

This weekend would also be a good time to remind your preschooler that snack time and lunch time are NOT play time. We must keep everyone safe while eating. We are happy that the children are becoming comfortable and making friends but meal time is not a time to play.

On Friday September 10th, we have picture day. In the past, the preschoolers have been the first to take pictures. Please be at school by 8:30am. Your order form will be in your family envelope on Tuesday.

We will be adding the letter H, exploring our feelings using shapes and learning self-regulation techniques. They will also continue to work in their journals.

Have a safe and restful Labor Day

Blessings,

Ms. Grace and Ms. Whitney

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."
— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022
"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"
— SPN Parent
"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
— SPN Parent since 2016
