After many days out of school for our break, I asked my daughter if she was looking forward to returning to her kindergarten class. "Oh, yes," she responded, "I can't wait to get back to all the learning." While I'm glad she enjoys all the learning​, her excited, sincere reply made me think...

All the learning... ​Always learning...
​Children are always learning. All the time. Preschoolers are not only developing skills inside their classroom with friends and teachers, but they are growing and absorbing information from every activity of every day with every person they encounter. Our preschool program is here to encourage students and families during these early learning years. We are glad to support your child's learning at preschool and we are so pleased with how you support your child always. All the time. How rewarding it is to work with students that are so excited to learn and eager for new experiences! Thank you families for sharing all the learning  with your child.
​It's not too soon to enroll for the 2017-2018 school year at Broadway Presbyterian Preschool!
Even if your student is currently enrolled, you must complete a 2017-2018 enrollment form to declare your intention to attend next year. Early enrollment for church members, alumni, and students currently enrolled will continue until March 1st. After March 1st, open enrollment begins and all students will be placed in the order their forms and registration fees are received. Classes fill up quickly- enroll now so you don't miss out on the class of your choice. Enrollment forms are available at preschool and in the church office.

We're always working on something at preschool. Building, drawing, running, counting, singing, painting... it seems like we're up to our elbows in fun.
And we are.

Preschool is busy.
Preschoolers are busier.

Already this school year, we've been on field trips, enjoyed special celebrations, and participated in Broadway Presbyterian Church's worship services. All of which have been great, meaningful experiences for our students. We always have a lot going on as a part of our preschool program- it's a busy schedule. But our most important work happens when we're busy in the classrooms- when our preschoolers are busy.

By "busy", I mean engaged.  Our students are engaged in their projects, in their play, in their friendships. As they play, they plan and as they plan, they prepare. This connection to their play and activities helps them build on their own learning- increasing their foundation for knowledge.

And knowledge is power.

Are you busy? So am I. I'm learning to recognize when I'm busy but not engaged. Our preschoolers remind me to be in the moment (even when I'm not with them). And that is powerful!

Preschool is the place to be! We have friends, fun, and snacks- who needs anything more? These basic elements of preschool may be the only thing you hear about from your student at the end of class- but, actually, there IS so much MORE going on...

You might coerce a little information from your student about their preschool activities. Maybe you hear something like this...

"I played with blocks"

But there's MORE to the story...

We're building amazing structures with big and small blocks, using tubes to make marbles roll and drop, experimenting with ramps and angles, sorting, stacking, balancing items to make tall towers,  strengthening muscles used for fine and gross motor activities, and much MORE!

Or you might hear this from your student...

"I made you a picture!"

But there's MORE to the story...

We're practicing our writer's grip, exploring color, expressing emotions, sharing materials, learning how to miss you for just a little bit while working and playing on our own, and much MORE!

We play at preschool, we learn at preschool, we love to be at preschool! Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us- they are great preschool students. I look forward to MORE of our story.

Fall has arrived! Students at Broadway Presbyterian Preschool are excited by the seasonal changes. They recognize nature's colors changing daily outside our classroom window. Many budding meteorologists have been suggesting words like "chilly" and "windy" and "leafy" as they're looking for clues to describe the weather and the temperature. (Some days are actually sort of "leafy".) Autumn surrounds us on our walks and outdoor investigations- we feel the cooler air, smell the sweet leaves, see the bright sun.

During our preschool classes, we've been discovering how to play, work, and learn together. Our students are recognizing letters of the alphabet, numerals, their written name, and the names of their classmates. We make music together everyday, singing songs that help students practice valuable social skills and strengthen their academic readiness. Everyday at preschool offers a new way to explore our world while sharing different thoughts and ideas.

This season has just begun! Many more adventures await us!

Get ready...get set...go!

It's time to move and groove at preschool!

Are you ready?

Our first day of classes is set for Mon. Sept. 8th.

Tues./Thurs. classes begin Tues. Sept. 9th.

We will be on the go everyday at BPC Preschool- building skills, preparing learners, and creating relationships. There are so many new experiences and great activities for our students!

Here we go...here we grow!
