Greetings Feeney Families and Friends,

It is an exciting time to be in preschool! Students have been very busy making delicious treats in the bakery, learning about their five sense, making snowflakes during art, and listening to wonderful stories. Next week there is much more fun to be had as you will see below. I hope you enjoy a festive and joyful weekend and we look forward to seeing you next week.

Warm regards,

Julie

These are helpful tips on how to manage screen time for our youngest learner and the importance of conversational turn taking and play in a child's development. This resource provides tangible ways you can support your child's growth and development.

As temperatures continue to fall, a reminder to please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the outdoors. This includes warm coats, hats and mittens (it is far easier and faster to cover two hands rather than 10 fingers) AND footwear. Also make sure clothing items are labeled. Thank you!

We will go outside unless the air temperature is below 20 degrees

Cold season is here! We appreciate donations of tissues, wipes, paper towels, hand sanitizer etc. they are always needed for tiny noses and hands. Thank you.

The New Peer Application is now available on our website The application window will be open until 12/22 and a lottery to select peers will be held in January 2024.
