We would like to invite you to volunteer at the Preschool. We need help in all areas. For example, we frequently need things sewn or built for us. The teachers always have plenty of cutting with which they appreciate help. We also invite you to volunteer to help in the classrooms. If you have a talent you would like to share, please tell us! Volunteers are greatly appreciated.
PARENTS OF LITTLE ONES (P.O.L.O.)
Parents of Little Ones is a volunteer organization made up of
our preschool parents and KDO (Kid's Day Out) parents. This organization
is dedicated to bringing these parents together to serve the needs of our
children and of our school. In order to meet those needs, support form
P.O.L.O. will involve some volunteering by parents for special projects, such as
maintaining the playground equipment and the school grounds, gardening in your
child's 
classroom garden plot, or some simple constructions. Additionally,
we will hold fundraisers throughout the year to raise needed money for
educational equipment in the classrooms, teacher conferences, and whatever other
needs the Preschool and KDO may have at the time. Finally, P.O.L.O. has a
vested interest in supporting each other with monthly fun gatherings and social
events where new friendships can develop and parenting ideas can be shared.
So how can you become a member? You are already a member just by being a parent of a little one enrolled in the Preschool or KDO. We would like you to become a participating member whenever possible. We rely greatly upon parent participation and welcome any assistance you, the parent, can provide. This group can be as exciting as you make it.
The P.O.L.O president is Teri Niedermeyer. Please contact us anytime with our questions and suggestion.
Lunch Bunch is an extra preschool session available on an occasional or permanent basis to all children enrolled in preschool. Lunch Bunch will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 11:55 until 3:15, and on Fridays from 9:00 until 12:20. Each child should bring a lunch and a drink. The cost is $20.00 per session. Enrollment is limited to 10-12 children per session. Sign up early; spaces go quickly!
Activities
The children attend a special music class every other week
with our music teacher. This is in addition to daily music in the
classroom. They will have opportunities to experience music in a variety
of ways, including dancing,
rhythmic movement, singing, exploration of music in
other cultures, and hands on fun with musical instruments.
The children will participate in P.E. class every other week, alternating with Music. The P.E. teacher works with the children on coordination, large muscle development, awareness of physical fitness and having fun while learning what their bodies can do. The children also exercise daily with the classroom teacher.
Shugart Studios will take individual photographs of each child each fall. See the preschool calendar for specific dates. These reasonably priced packets will be available for purchase.
The preschool will take a special "Autumn Days" photo of your child in October. A special photo will also be taken in February on a rodeo horse during our Texas unit. The cost of each photo will be $5.00.
Group (class) photographs will be taken in the spring. One photo will be given to each family at no charge.
There will be lots of chance to preserve those memories!
You will notice lots of picture-taking around our preschool and on the field trips! Throughout the year each teacher collects hundreds of photos which are then sorted and organized. The end result is a personalized photo album presented to each child from his teacher as a memory of the year.
