We Need You
Your Voice Is Important!
The only way we continue to improve is through you.
Please take a minute to complete our Edith Teter Preschool survey. These are anonymous paper surveys so that you are comfortable to share anything.
Your information is presented in my reports to the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, the BOE and for our Quality Ratings.
We also use this for our funders who provide grants to continue our program.
Once you complete the survey, please put it in the envelope in front of your child's classroom and cross of your child's name.
You will then be entered into a drawing for free goodies! We'll draw one name from each class. Drawing to be help this Wednesday, May 26!

Tip of the Week
Listen Up!
Suggest a sound to listen to—like a car going by or a dog barking. Encourage your child to close their eyes while you both listen to the sound. Ask them to put a hand in the air when they can't hear the sound anymore. Then have them suggest a sound and you listen up!
BRAINY BACKGROUND
Listening is an important part of being able to communicate and interact with others. When your child listens carefully, they need to slow down, tune out distractions, and stop what they might want to do to pay attention. These are all skills your child will need in school and in life. Have a conversation about what is happening so they learn some new words too.
