Preschool Weekly Update

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning.Play is really the work of childhood,” Fred Rogers, AKA Mr. Rogers

Our preschoolers have been working hard for an entire month! Wow! Ms. Whitney and I have seen so much growth, individually, as well as the whole class. With growth comes challenges for all of our preschoolers. This long weekend would be a great time to practice their potty skills as well as their lunchtime table manners.

This upcoming week we will be reviewing our letters, H, F and T. We will also be practice our mindfulness. Next week we will be concluding our monthly theme of “Friends and Feelings”.

Have a great weekend!

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."
