Preschool Weekly Update – week of 8/19

Thank you, Lord, for your new beginnings and unwavering provision. We trust that your peace will watch over us as we step into a new beginning.

This year, we will rely on the riches of your love and grace to provide for our physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Hello Preschool Families,

Although we have a delay in starting our school year, I wanted to post what will be a weekly preschool update. Miss Rosie and I are so excited to start the new school year in our new classroom space.

Here are a few tips to help our preschoolers get off to a great start.

  • Pack a lunch and water bottle for your preschooler even on minimum days. We always eat lunch at 11:30am
  • Pack a morning snack in a separate container.
  • Provide a nap roll or small blanket for rest/quiet time. We provide a mat and sheet. These will go home every Friday to be washed.
  • A small stuffy is allowed for rest time.
  • We will have a new “RING” at our entrance door. This will allow Miss Rosie and I to let parents in for pick-up.
  • Our door will be “open” at 8:00am-8:15am for drop off. If you arrive after 8:15am please ring the doorbell.
  • Please bring items on the supply list that was sent out earlier from the school office.

If you have any questions please email me. I know the first couple of weeks can be hectic but it is amazing how quickly it all comes together.

Peace, Ms. Grace and Miss Rosie

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
