Pre-School Room!

Welcome to our Preschool Classroom! We look forward to helping your child grow and

develop. From ages 3 years to 5 years, your child will achieve many milestones. Social and

independent skills become a major focus in their lives and imaginations soar!

The activities we plan each day encompass quite a variety to meet your child’s needs and

development. Some key concepts your child will learn include; both upper and lower case letters

and their sounds, colors, numbers, shapes and patterning. Literacy plays a major role in our

curriculum each day. Children begin to count and learn words in Spanish too. Math, science and

social as well as small motor and large motor skills are also incorporated into our day.

Circle time is held each day and includes assigning classroom jobs, reciting the Pledge of

Allegiance, and discussing the calendar and the weather.

We go outside each day (weather permitting) so please dress your child accordingly. No

laced shoes or boots. Only velcro is permitted and socks and sneakers are a must each day. A

pair of fitted, hard soled slippers are also needed for indoor play. These will be kept here in our

shoe cubby. Please allow your child time to dress and undress himself at drop off and pick up.

Your child will also need an art smock, small pillow and blanket, a full change of

clothes, bags for soiled clothes, along with a fitted sheet for their cot. All these items will be kept

in your child’s cubby. Children rest on a cot after lunch time and may have a quiet soft toy

accompany them. A book bag and folder are necessary to transport art work & soiled clothing. It

also helps your child feel important to carry it! Please remember that book bags are within the

reach of children. Do not send anything that may be harmful such as medications, food or small

items that can be a choking hazard. All medications must be labeled and handed to the teacher. All

medications must be accompanied by a physician form. Please ask if you should need one of these

forms.

A specially prepared monthly menu is served to the children and is posted in the hall for

your viewing. We also practice table manners and we have family style meals where the children

pass the bowls of food and prepare their own plate!

By age three, potty training should be complete or almost complete. Please send in pull

ups and wipes in your child’s book bag if needed. Underwear is best!

Read your child’s daily activities, and get involved with your child’s education now! You

will have the ability to message your child’s teacher throughout the day as well as get messages

from them regarding any supplies your child needs. This will be done through our Procare app.

Please view our bulletin board regularly for information. If you ever have any questions,

concerns, compliments or complaints we want to here from you! Feel free to discuss anything

with the teachers or directors at any time.

Thank you for choosing Candy Land Day Care and welcome to our Preschool room!
