See us in action!

We are so busy during our first 30 to 45 minutes! There are several activities for the kids to be engaged in when they first arrive. Check out these busy bees!

Preschool is COOL!

Throughout this year I will be taking pictures and putting together a 20 page 8"x8" digital memory book for the 4 year old preschool class. This book will be available for purchase and more information will come concerning ordering copies. =) I will be posting various layouts throughout the year here and my intent is have the final 20 available for you to preview so you know ahead of time what will be in the book. If anyone gets some great digital pictures (taken at a high resolution) of events from this year I would love to have them. Please see the sidebar for information on how to get them to me. =) Thanks! Lisa Kelsey =)

The Bouncehouse!

We had a special treat during our outdoor playtime today! A Bouncehouse! Each one got to go with a partner and spend a few minutes showing off their abilities. They had so much fun! The Bouncehouse was brought in by a parent and may be available as an indoor activity on occassion when the weather doesn't allow for playing outside. Check out the kids in action!

Ready...Set...GO!

Here are a few pics as students began arriving for their first big day!

Today the students began their first official class and were welcomed with several activity choices such as apple paint stamps, drawing, and other various manipulatives.

They all enjoyed getting to play outside on the play structure for the first time and took right to it!

After playtime, students came in and got ready for a snack. Kaitlyn was signed up to be the first Snack Helper.

The Snack Helper can wear the apron if they would like to, help pass out the snacks and pray. Her snack followed the current apple theme, which included apple slices, an apple fruit bar, apple juice, cheese and crackers. She introduced this prayer:

Thank you for the world so sweet.

Thank you for the food we eat.

Thank you for the birds that sing.

Thank you, God, for everything!

Amen!


We encourage healthy choices for our snacktime and would like each student to get to be the Snack Helper at least once each month if possible. Please check ingredients and avoid the following ingredients as we have students with these food allergies as stated in the Orientation Outline:

*Red Dye #40 (watch for this in fruit juices too)

*Strawberries

*Pineapple

*Soy
*Peanut Butter

***If you did not personally prepare the snack, please bring in the nutritional facts so we can check the ingredients. Thank you!

When snacktime was over, the class moved to the next room for their last activity: circle time. This can include music, rhythm movement, singing, books, stories, etc. Students are dismissed when they see their parents come upstairs to pick them up from this circle time. What a fun-filled first day!

Our FIRST DAY!!

Today a vision became reality as Celebration Kidz Preschool opened it doors for the first time. Students were given a chance to meet their teachers individually in 15 minute intervals and see their classrooms before activities get underway tomorrow. The excitement is high and the kids seem eager to discover all that Preschool will offer! Miss Jena and Miss Cathy are looking forward to all that this year will bring.

Open House!

We opened the rooms from 10am to 12 pm today and allowed parents and children to come and see what Celebration Kidz Preschool has to offer. Enrollment is open and will continue through the fall. School is scheduled to start September 1st and you can view information about registering your child HERE.
