Hello Preschool Families!
Thank you all so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet with us for parent teacher conferences. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to give you a better idea of how your child is learning and growing here at preschool. We also enjoy hearing more about how your child is learning and growing at home!!
There are many factors that influence your child's growth and development, and preschool is just one of those factors. We are only with the children 2 or 3 mornings a week, and we know that there is a whole other world outside of the classroom. Because of this, we also use our conference times as a way to "walk with you" on the ever challenging path called parenting. Between the 5 teachers on the preschool staff, we have 11 children and about 100 years of parenting "practice" under our belts (Yikes!), so we really do have an idea of what you're going through as you grow your families. I hope that all of you take some time to look through the handouts that we prepared for you, because they have a wealth of information that will help guide you on your parenting adventure!
Several of you have requested our recipe for the home made play dough that we often use in the classroom, so I'll share that with you here. Enjoy the lovely weather that we've been blessed with this weekend!
