Merry Christmas! We hope your child has enjoyed all the many things we have done at preschool these past two and a half months. We had a wonderful Christmas program. We sang the songs that Miss Vicki has been teaching us, ate cookies and milk, and had a visit from Santa. There were so many people who came that we had to use an additional room to fit everyone in. Thanks to all of the students and their families for making this such a great success. We appreciate you allowing us the privilege of spending a small bit of time with your children every week and look forward to seeing them at the start of the New Year.

Time flown by. It is hard to believe the holiday season is in full swing and our Christmas program is just around the corner. We have been open for almost two months now and have had lots of fun while learning. We are amazed at how much the kids have learned already. Our Zoo Phonics program has been such a success, even our two your old class knows the letter sounds and some of our Pre-K kids are starting to sound out words. If you have a beginning reader at your house, give them a challenge of finding a book without the word 'the'. It is one of the words used the most in the English language.

Ms. Vicki has been coming to our school on Fridays and teaching the kids to sing. She is amazing and the kids absolutely love her. Ms. Laurie has also started coming in to work with the kids and provided some movement activities for us. We are so grateful to have them both at our school.

We are so happy to have new students enrolling everyweek. We still have openings to be sure to come in and see what we have here at TotSpot! Happy Holidays from all of us.

Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks make! We have been very busy at the preschool getting things ready for opening day. Our teachers have all worked very had to turn a few empty rooms into amazing classrooms. If you haven't already, you should stop by and have a look.

Wow, it is amazing to see how much has been done on our new school over the past two weeks. The walls are all in and are in the process of being painted! We love the blue walls and can't wait to decorate them. The flooring should go in next and we will be able to start moving things in!! We have hired all of our teachers and they can't wait to get busy.

Construction is underway! There is a lot going on in our preschool. Construction is well underway, the signs are up on the outside of the building, the teachers are busy getting things ready for the start of school in October! The classrooms are taking shape,there are walls, the rough plumbing has been done, the security system is in. We are so excited to watch the progress on the building and can't wait until we can move in!

Please check out our new class schedules which include the addition of a class for 2 year-olds AND a 5 day per week pre-k class!

Our Oceans unit was a blast!

The past two weeks we have been learning a bit about the ocean. We sure had a lot of fun learning about how big a whale is and about some of the animals that live in the ocean. The kids loved singing 'Down By the Bay', learning about the letter O, and also a bit about money. Ask your kids about what works best to shine up your dirty pennies! We look forward to learning about snakes and reptiles this next week.

We would like to say a special thanks to Miss Gretchen for coming and helping out while Miss Shannon was out! We all love her and look forward to seeing her more in the future.

Now Enrolling for the 2010-2011 school Year.
