PreK Bi-Weekly Update - August 28/September 4, 2025
Partnering with You
Dear MCA PreK Families,
Thank you for entrusting your littlest learners to us at MCA. Our heart as early childhood educators is to partner with you in preparing your child for the next steps in their learning journey. We believe each child is a unique gift from God, created with a plan and purpose. As Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."
One of the best ways you can partner with us is by following up with your child about their day. Celebrate their victories—big or small—and encourage them in the areas where they are growing. In our classrooms, we focus on a few key expectations: listening and following directions, showing kindness to others, and being good stewards of our classroom. To encourage these behaviors, students have the opportunity to earn “Fuzzies” (pom poms) for their Fuzzy Jars. Once a jar is full, they get to choose a special prize from the classroom treasure chest. You’ll be able to keep up with your child’s daily progress and activities through our Daily Connect app (Apple | Google) and the take-home folder.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at lettie.fundanet@mcamustangs.org.
We are so grateful to walk alongside you and your child this year and can’t wait to see all the ways they will grow—both in the classroom and in character.

First Day Update
Our First Day has come and gone and we are on our way to learning and growing together. Already so much has happened. Routines and procedures have been practiced, and we have made new friends.
AM & PM Snack Examples
fruit + a grain in a reusable bag
protein + a grain in a disposable snack bag
grain + a vegetable in a reusable container
Each day, please send 2 snacks—one for the morning and one for the afternoon—each with two different food groups (protein, fruit, vegetable, or whole grain). Pack them separately, label with your child’s name and “AM” or “PM,” and keep in mind they won’t be refrigerated.
