DFP Family Update

DFP Family UpdateSeptember 26, 2025

Dear Feeney Families,


Students are actively engaged in so many rich activities here at DFP. A few examples include are learning about the parts of an apple, working cooperatively to "make" apple pies in the dramatic play areas, and answering "wh" questions during read alouds. Our young learners know the routines of the day and they have demonstrated great flexibility when there is a change to our schedule (indoor recess can be tricky!). Thank you for your support and partnership in making these first few weeks such a success. Enjoy the weekend ahead, see you on Monday.


Warmly,

Julie Martin

We talk a lot about apples this month! We talk a lot about apples this month!

We Love Books at DFP!

Our preschool is raising funds to grow our classroom libraries with high-quality books that spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of reading. Having a wide variety of books allows every child to see themselves reflected in stories, explore new ideas, and build early literacy skills that are the foundation for lifelong learning. With your support, we can place more books into the hands of our youngest learners and create joyful reading experiences every day.
