(48-60 months by October 1st)
Throughout the year, we will focus on a variety of developmental milestones tailored to our age group. Our goal is to support growth not only physically but also in areas such as vocabulary expansion, peer socialization, independence, and self-awareness.
Through play-based, hands-on discovery, children will engage with our classroom centers, which include dramatic play area, blocks, and vehicles,, tactile exploration, and a reading library.Â
With the guidance of our dedicated and knowledgeable staff, along with a low adult-to-child ratio of 1:5, we will foster children’s growth across all developmental domains. Additionally we will enhance our learning experience throughout the year.
Each day, your child should come to school with: a backpack, AM and PM snacks, a lunch inside a lunchbox, and a water bottle (filled at home). These items need to be CLEARLY LABELED with your child’s name. Breakfast ends at 8:30 am. If your child is staying past 5 pm, please provide a snack or meal. Hard sole shoes must be worn daily.
A small stuffed animal, lovey or pacifier is okay to bring for rest time (or leave here at school). Please no electronic or fragile items. We are not responsible for broken or lost items.
If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home. This helps them to heal faster, but also keeps their peers and teachers healthy. Be sure to send me a message on brightwheel if you know your child will not be attending school. If your child is sent home from school due to illness, they MAY NOT RETURN THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL DAY.
For example, if they are sent home on a Monday, the earliest they may return is Wednesday (as long as they are symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medication).
We will be going outside and/or to the gym regularly.
We do our best to follow the same schedule and structure every day.
In the afternoons, we will have special instructors such as Music with Miss Deirdre. Please contact the office for more information.

Throughout the year, we take great pleasure in celebrating various events as a community. We invite you to join us for our annual Fall Festival, Thanksgiving Feast, classroom holiday parties, Special Person’s Day, and end-of-year celebrations.
Your participation in these events enriches our community and fosters a sense of connection among families and staff. If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday in class, please feel free to contact me via brightwheel or email. Some families choose to send in individual goody bags for students to take home or provide a treat to share during am/pm snack.
Additionally, if parents, grandparents, or other special adults would like to visit the class to read a story in honor of your child, we can certainly arrange that as well. Thank you for your participation in making these celebrations special!
Reach out if you have questions or comments. We’d love to hear from you!
