Your child’s first year of school is an exciting time for both you and your child. The goal of the pre-K school year is to engage each child in learning through a curriculum that focuses on the needs of young children in all areas of development including language, early literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts, physical development, as well as social emotional development, and healthy living.  Each day is planned to provide hands on experiences that develop and support a child’s love and joy of learning.  The classroom environment creates a safe, nurturing and supportive place for young children to explore these new learning opportunities and to set the foundation for future learning in the years to come. Your child’s teacher will provide you with information on classroom activities throughout the year to keep you informed on what your child is learning about throughout the year.

To accomplish all of this in pre-K, your child’s teacher will need your support to learn about your child and his/her interests.  This will help the teacher build on what your child is already comfortable with and to also expand his knowledge of new things.  The teacher will also provide suggestions and ideas for ways to help your child continue to grow and learn as home.
