Anyone interested in signing up for fall 2018-19 I only have Monday-Wednesday classes available.

What a great week we had...oh how I love your children!  The "t" party, of course with apple juice was so much fun. We talked about manners, ate cheese, tomatoes, olives,tiny sandwiches, pickles, lucky charms, grapes, shamrock homemade cookies, with a bunch of other sugar cookies frosted and sprinkled. After we visited and learned where to put the napkin and how to drink with the pinky finger extended we were fully ready to learn some dance moves.  The kids learned how to hokey pokey, line dance and of course walk.  With the students dressed up in princess dresses, beautiful Sunday dresses, suits, and bow ties they danced and danced!

We heard a bang upstairs and we found leprechaun foot prints going up the stairs.  Not only did the leprechauns not let us see them...they left us a black small pot of gold coins. When we went back to the preschool room they forgot their hats!  Luckily the leprechauns left enough hats for each child.

Thank you so much! I had the best birthday this week because I got to be near heaven with your children🎈

No school on Monday February 19th.. Presidents' Day.

Hey everyone.  We had a great week in preschool having the letter "Q" and our valentines party! Thank you so much moms for the cute and wonderful ideas you had.  The kids had a blast with all the candy and surprises they received.

4-5 year old classes:  As we have been reviewing the alphabet, phonics and upper/lower case letters, I have learned a lot from your children.  So I will mention this again.....if you really really want to help your child please, please every night before you put your child to bed, please have him/her sing the alphabet train song. They know it!  It will help them remember their letters and sounds. I am sad to hear from some children this isn't happening and that they don't even know where their alphabet train they made is.

Coming up soon will be our Tea Party in March 14th and 15th.  It's a day where the girls come dressed up in their princess dresses and the boys come dressed up in their Sunday best.  The kids will learn about manners, etiquette, and have a small luncheon and dance.  I promise I will take a lot of pictures.  On the same day we will be celebrating St. Patrick's day.

Please check your calendars to see when you are to bring treats for your child's class.  Thank you so much for having the best kids ever👍

What another great week of learning.  The children are blooming like flowers and it's not even spring!

Heads up...next Monday (jan29)and Tuesday (jan30) we will be learning the letter "P".  Please have your child dressed in his/her pjs.  We will have a pancake breakfast and then a little later we will have a puppet show with popcorn while learning everything we can about p.

Kindergarten registration will be coming up in the next several months.  Right now I am prepping them and helping them to be ready for questions they will be asked to answer.  Shapes, numbers, colors and letters.  I hope the letter train your child has been bringing home every week has easy access so your child can go over and over learning sounds and upper and lower case letters.  We are working hard in preschool now with that and the days of the week.

My 4-5 yr old classes love counting to 100 with a few still trying to keep up.  It's ok if they can count to 20.  That's all that is required. They love learning and pushing themselves. It's exciting to see them do it.

Sight words are completely going along great. They're reading level is great.  We are now writing our sight words and again the children are so excited to be writing.

The 3-4 yr old class is doing awesome too. They are going to see tomorrow a live octopus...as well as my 4-5 yr old classes...thought they would enjoy that.  They are counting to 20, which is remarkable. They are learning more shapes, colors, opposites, words that rhyme.

No preschool on Monday January 15. (Human rights day) and the Madison school will be out of school too.

Welcome back students to preschool.  This past week we reviewed everything we have learned thus far.  The 4-5 yr old classes knew all their sight words, counted easily to 50, understood what the sound of each letter is and also recognized each letter..upper and lower case.  We reviewed shapes, colors opposites.

We are going to learn our days of the week, months of the year, and start doing alittle math. My 3-4 yr old class are introduced to these things and we will see what they can handle too.  They are sponges and love learning..that makes all the difference. Looking forward to another great week!

Christmas was wonderful and the new year will be here before you know it.  Preschool will start back up jan 3rd and 4th.  Please don't worry about your payment being late this month.  Just pay when your child comes.  Looking forward to the new year.

Registration is open for the fall 2018.

Registration is open for fall 2018...can you believe it.  The months go by so fast. Just fill out the application and either bring it by or mail it to me.  The schedule and times are on the registration form for you to fill out.

December is flying by quickly.  Santa will be making a surprise visit soon and I'm pretty sure he will play a few games with the children and hand out some wrapped presents and of course a candy cane. (I've never seen so many children love candy canes like these kids do).

All three classes just completed letter "J" this past week.  We made candy canes (which looks like the letter j.  We painted snowmen, made gingerbread man cookies and yes one of them jumped and ran out of the oven.  Quick as a wink the students were running through my house trying to find the little gingerbread cookie.  And when they did he was eaten fast in the moment with children excited and screaming for joy that they found him.

The children are learning how to share better.  They are being kind to each other and noticing each other. They are becoming friends.  It's wonderful to watch. It shows me they are becoming confident and like structure.  Our work load consists of practicing counting to 100, did alittle addition in the 4-5 year old classes, went over and over identifying our alphabet letters and sounds.  Our shapes are coming along great.  Today's class only forgot one shape out of 12 and that was quatrefoil.  Not bad for 4-5 year olds.

We will do letter "K" next week and then the week after we will only have preschool on Monday and Tuesday.  Classes will start back up January 2 and 3rd.  Happy holidays🎄
