Hello, my name is Ms. Melissa, and I am one of the co-teachers in the Pre-K room. I graduated from SRU with an Elementary/Early Childhood Education degree. I have experience with all age groups, but preschool/pre-k is my favorite.  My goal for my classroom is to pass on the passion of learning I have onto my class.  I bring a lot of creativity to my classroom.  In the upcoming year, we will be stretching our imaginations and exploring new ideas. I am looking forward to a wonderful year. 

Hello, my name is Ms. Nicole, and I am one of the co-teachers in the Pre-K room. I graduated from BC3 with my degree in Child Development. My goal is to help each child challenge themselves and grow. Getting to know your child on a personal level will allow them to feel more comfortable in their environment.  Learning through hands-on experiments and projects allows children to independently discover new concepts. I want your child to be fully prepared for the skills they need for Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting all of you and creating masterpieces with each child in their own special way!

Times and activities may differ depending on the day

Meals: Please no milk cups in the morning; they often get forgotten about once the child starts playing. No additional food for breakfast or snack due to allergies.

Home toys: Do not let your child bring in any home toys, as stated in the parent handbook.  They often get lost and are a distraction to learning for your child and others.  Jewelry and watches  are also included as a home toy. They are a distraction and can get stuck on the child’s fingers/arms/neck and break very easily.

·      Naps: We are requesting NO full-size pillows; they are hard for the children to put away by themself.  Happy Nappers and sleeping bags  are not  acceptable sleep bedding according to the state.

.    Brightwheel: We are very busy in Pre-K and do not always have a chance to get on Brightwheel. We will answer ALL Bright Wheel messages between 1-3pm. Only if there is an emergency will we message outside of the designated time frame. Remember, no news is good news!

·      Volunteers: The kids love being read to, having special presentations, and  having a parent run one of the activities for a morning.  If you wish to join our class for the day,  please reach out!
