How do you handle discipline in the classroom?

2-Year-Olds:

I try to redirect then give a warning and if they repeat the behavior they will sit in time-out. After their short time-out I talk to the child and explain that the actions are not acceptable in a simple, easy to understand way (i.e.: "hitting hurts our friends", "chairs are for sitting", "we don't throw our toys, it could break them or hurt our friends.")

18-Month-Olds: 

Redirection and distraction is the first form of discipline used and most of the timethats enough.  If the behavior continues a child may be given 1 minute to sit away from the group and his/her peers before returning.  

4-Year-Olds:

We use redirection and reminder of the rules first.  If that approach isn't working we will separate the student from their peers to have some calm-down/thinking time.  We discuss the expectations of the class and the need to apologize to our friend if needed.  

3-Year-Olds:

First, we try to redirect or give another option. If the behavior continues we use an age-appropriate time-out.  We encourage the children to use their words to talk to their friends to resolve a conflict.  

General Preschool Information

Bathroom and Potty Training:

We do not require children to be potty training in the 2-year-old class.  We prefer them to be potty trained in the 3s but understand that not every child is ready to train by this time.  We will work with you and your child during the school day.  For children that are trained, we ask frequently for anyone that needs to use the restroom. The teachers also have specific times to have all children try to use the bathroom (before playground, after snack, before carpool).  

Curriculum:

The preschool uses LetterLand as our primary letter and phonics curriculum.  We also use TRUEWAY KIDS  curriculum to incorporate Bible stories and units into the day.  The teachers have the freedom to supplement for the needs of their classroom as they feel necessary.  

What does my child need to bring each day?

We ask that the children bring a full-sized backpack with a change of clothes daily.  We will provide a folder for their teacher to send home their daily activities and communication. We also ask that you send in a snack and a no-spill water bottle daily.

First Day of School:

Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024 for T/Th and PreK

Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024 for M/W/F

​

Last Day of School:

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 for M/W/F 

Thursday, May 22, 2025 for T/Th and PreK

What is PreK?

PreK is a popular option for the 4-year-olds. Students in the PreK class are able to expand and excel in the goals set for the 4s because they have an extended school day.  This class meets Monday-Friday from 9:00-1:00. The students in the PreK class bring a lunch from home daily to also learn important lunch skills for Kindergarten.  These skills include, opening juice pouches or water bottles, opening lunch items such as crackers, chips, sandwich baggies, or Lunchables, as well as learning to eat at the table with other friends within the time given for lunch.
