Welcome to Preschool!


Welcome to Preschool!  

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Alphabet Adventures Preschool!  We are so glad you're here.  We are looking forward to a wonderful new year and getting to know your sons and daughters.

A couple of things you might like to know:
How do your celebrate birthdays at preschool?
We want your child/ren to feel special on his/her/their special day.  We have a paper crown for him/her to wear, we get to know him/her, and we sing to them and have a little present bag for his/her.  Parents, if you would like to send in 10 treats for the class you may.  Please see the Schedule for the date assigned to celebrate your child/ren.

*For our lesson on September 5 (Thursday), please send a photo of something your child did this Summer.  We will talk about it and get to know your child more.

** Please send in an apple with your student.  (Variety will make our applesauce tasty).

***For our Teddy Bear Picnic at the end of the month, please have your child bring a favorite teddy bear and a small picnic lunch in a paper bag.  We will picnic on blankets, read lots of Beary good stories, and have a great time!

The first day of each week (Tuesday) your student may bring something to Show and Teach.  Please help your student find something that relates to our theme...for instance, on our Letter A Day, your child might bring a small plastic alligator, a picture of an ant, a toy airplane, or a stuffed ape, etc.

Just some helpful reminders:

§      Please remember to send in your child's emergency clothes (underpants, shorts/sweat pants, socks) in a large Ziplock bag with his/her first name written on the front.

§      Also, please remember to feed your child breakfast before bringing your child to school.  (Children usually do better at separating, making friends, and playing who have eaten a good breakfast first.)

§      Please take your student to the potty before school.

§      Please send a backpack with your child to carry home artwork/papers until our class bags are ready.

§      Get ready to have a fun year learning at preschool this year!
