Ashland Preschool Update
September 1st, 2026
Great First Day!
Hello Preschool Families,
Day one is complete, and we had a wonderful first day!
While there were a few tears at drop-off (which is completely normal!), once everyone was inside and settled, the children had a great time exploring the classroom, playing with new toys, and beginning to meet new friends. We are so proud of them and are looking forward to all the fun and learning ahead!
Thank you so much for your patience and cooperation during arrival and dismissal as we all get used to our routines. A couple of quick reminders that will help things run smoothly:
• Please place the car sign that was sent home in your child’s red folder on your dashboard during dismissal.
• When pulling into the parking lot, please pull up as close as possible to the car in front of you. This allows us to fit as many cars as possible in the lot and helps keep the line moving safely and efficiently.
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are so excited for the year ahead and look forward to seeing everyone again in the morning!
Have a wonderful evening!
Mrs. Curley and the Pittaway Team
