Mrs. Jackson and I would like to officially welcome you and your child to preschool! We hope this letter finds you all filled with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming school year. We are thrilled to embark on this journey with you.   

Mrs. Jackson and I will be the two teachers in the classroom to help your child learn and grow.  Your child will have the opportunity to learn and investigate through the Creative Curriculum.

Families, your support and involvement in your child's education are crucial. Therefore, we strongly encourage open lines of communication and partnership between home and school. Together, we can ensure that your child receives the best possible education and support to reach their full potential.

Our program will be using a new curriculum (Creative Curriculum). The Creative Curriculum builds children's confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills through hands-on, project-based exploration. It entails using various strategies.

During the first week of school, we ask that you bring a Family Picture. This will be displayed and shared with the class. Your child will also need to bring the following:  

✅ Please e-mail me a current picture of your child and a family picture

✅Your child needs a regular sized backpack

✅ Be sure that your child has a full change of clothes (they must be labeled)   

✅ Bring in a blanket for nap time (must be labeled)

✅ Be prepared to sign and return all required documents that you will receive during the first few days/weeks of school – they are very important

✅ Please come prepared with the names and telephone numbers of all your emergency contact people. Remember, the people that you put on your emergency form must be able to pick up your child in case of an emergency and they must have a valid photo identification card. You may list as many people as you want on this form – in fact, we encourage you to list many people. Please work on preparing your list now.

*Please take sheets home every Friday to be washed and return them to school on Monday!*

Here’s to an amazing year in preschool!

Warmest regards,
