The children are LOVING our new magnet sheets from 1 - 2 - 3 Learn Curriculum..... A nice way to spend a quiet afternoon. :)

With October, comes fall and we are working on some fall crafts. Here we are making a crow and they are hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen. Turned out adorable....

This week our theme is Pumpkins. Letter p, number 7, color orange and shape triangle.

Words we came up with at circle time that start with the letter p were pumpkin, princess, pig, purple, pink and pirate...

Checking Out Our New Supply Boxes

I ended up going this week-end and buying new containers for the children to store their supplies in, so pencil boxes parents bought will be going back home. I'm going to have a custom cabinet made to store the containers. It will sit on top of the art center. Easy access for children to reach their supplies. :)

Here's one of the children using their own supply box. I'm going to love this.....

Back to Prechool :)

One of the children came this morning with their back pack full of their school supplies. He didn't want to take it off, but when I show him that his supplies were going into a box for himself, he was happy. :)

Preschool Starts Back Up Next Week

We are back to preschool the day after Labor Day. Our theme for the first 2 weeks is School Days. Our reasoning for doing this theme is, some children have older brothers or sisters that are starting school, or they might see all the school buses. So we let the children know that they are also starting back to school.

I am looking forward to getting back into the routine, but sad that we will be having 3 children leave as they go onto to kindergarten. The children here at Treasures of the Heart are like family, and it's always hard to see them know.... but it is with a happy heart we know they are more than ready. All 3 children tested higher than needed when they went to kindergarten testing. I am so proud of them, and I can't wait to hear how they do...

Reminder to parents that children will need their school supplies by Tuesday September 6.
Thanks Jean

I'm excited to share that Treasures of the Heart Preschool and Child Care received a certification of Accreditation through NAFCC.

Treasures of the Heart Preschool and Child Care will also receive a 4 star rating from Parent Aware in 4 - 6 weeks, and we are currently working on renewing our CDA.

I just had to share. :)
Thank you!
