Mini Moments

Every Day Counts!
We are excited to share that our current enrollment has reached 256 students!
We still have open seats available at select school sites and would love to welcome more children into our program. If you have family or friends with preschool-aged children, please help us spread the word. You can learn more about our program and register using the links below:

Absences
When leaving a message to clear an absence, please include the specific reason your student is missing school. If your child is home sick, please list their symptoms (fever, sore throat, etc.). Thank you for helping us keep our attendance records accurate and our school healthy.

Enrichment has Arrived in Preschool
Our preschool students are now participating in weekly art or music enrichment lessons with Ms. Medina! Through creative play and hands-on projects, students are building fine motor skills, self-expression, and critical thinking skills.

Scholars' Curious Minds

In The Classroom

Frog Street Curriculum
Our preschoolers are officially diving into our Frog Street Curriculum.
After building self-awareness and essential social-emotional skills in Theme 1: Marvelous Me, we have officially moved on to Theme 2: My Family and Me. In this current unit, children are exploring different family structures, community connections, and diversity—helping them better understand themselves and the world around them!
Conversation Starter: Ask your child to tell you one thing that makes your family special.

The Early Years Toolbox

We are now over 6 weeks into our school year.
As your child adjusts to the classroom, you may see them becoming more vocal, socially engaged, and inquisitive.
Adjusting to school takes time, and we are here to partner with you!
Our focus topics for this month include:
*Teaching Your Child to Become Independent with Daily
Routines

*How to Teach Your Child to Take Turns

*We can be Problem Solvers at Home

These topics and more can be found in the link below.

Developmental milestones are helpful checkpoints that show how your child is growing, learning, and playing! Tracking these milestones allows us to celebrate your child’s progress and identify any areas where they might need a little extra support early on.
