Preschool Pop-Out

Every Day Counts!
A big thank you to our wonderful families for keeping us updated when your students are absent.
We love seeing our students every day, but staying home to rest is essential when they are unwell. If your child is showing symptoms of illness, please encourage them to stay home and rest until they are feeling better. As a reminder, if your child has a fever, vomiting or diarrhea, they may not return to school until they are 24 hours symptom free without medication.
Please notify the office when calling in an illness if your child has any of these symptoms.
Here are a few great habits to practice together at home:
Handwashing: Scrubbing with soap while singing a favorite 20-second song!
Catching coughs: Prompting kids to cough into their elbow "cape."
Tissue duty: Showing little ones how to wipe and toss tissues properly.
Working together on these everyday habits helps ensure our students stay healthy, happy, and in class.

Preschool Staff Are Lifelong Learners
As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusive education, members of our preschool team recently attended the California Early Childhood Special Education Network(CalECSE) Conference in San Francisco. It was an inspiring opportunity to collaborate with experts and gain valuable strategies to ensure every student thrives in our inclusive classrooms.

Frog Street Curriculum
As we continue implementing our Frog Street curriculum, you may notice your child showing greater awareness of themselves, their family members, and their friends.
This month, we are diving into Theme 3: Safe and Healthy Me. Throughout this unit, children will explore:
Personal safety rules (at school, at home, and in the community)
Everyday hygiene practices (handwashing, covering coughs, and brushing teeth)
Healthy nutrition (discovering foods that give our bodies energy)
Physical activity & rest (learning how movement and sleep keep us strong)
Try this at home: Ask your child, "What is one way you can keep your body safe or healthy today?" You might be surprised by how much they have to share!

Predictable daily routines give children a strong sense of safety while nurturing self-discipline that lasts a lifetime. When mornings, afternoons, and bedtimes have a familiar rhythm, kids know what to expect—and what’s expected of them. To help your child succeed, try co-creating a visual schedule, breaking bigger tasks into manageable steps. Explore the topics below to start building routines that fit your family.

Our focus topics for this month include:
*Teaching Your Child to Become Independent with Daily Routines

*How to Use Visual Schedules to Help Your Child Understand Expectations

*Visual Supports for Routines, Schedules, and Transitions

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