Welcome Mr. Pete to Crown Preschool AM Extended Care!
Dear Crown Preschool Families,
Hello, my name is Peter Barkas. I am so excited to be joining the Crown Preschool team. The positive energy and warm, family friendly environment really appealed to me as an educator.
I have been a preschool teacher, after school care provider, and physical education instructor for nearly twenty years. I love teaching kids about healthy choices and physical fitness. I also enjoy making learning fun and hands on. I encourage kids to be independent and active problem solvers in their own lives. I believe that every child is a unique individual and will do my best to nurture their strengths while also giving them opportunities to continually grow.
My family and I recently relocated to Coronado from Sonoma County. My wife is a school administrator and also loves working with kids. My ten-year old son is attending Village Elementary. He has already made some great friends and loves our new beach lifestyle.
In my free time, I enjoy camping, hiking, biking, going to the beach, and traveling. A few of my favorite places are Zion National Park, Mount Rainier, and Yellowstone.
I look forward to getting to know each of you and your children.
All the best,
Pete Barkas

Illness at Preschool
It's the time of year our preschoolers may become sick with a cold and or flu. Please keep your child home when they are contagious with an illness such as fever, vomit, or diarrhea for a period of 24-hours symptom free.
Families can also help reduce the spread of germs by reinforcing at home our preschool hand washing steps. The 6 steps are:
- Get hands wet
- Get soap
- Lather hands for 20 seconds
- Rinse all soap off
- Dry hands
- Turn the faucet off with a paper towel
Check out the poster below to help your kids be a germ-buster too!
Please Sign Your Child In Everyday
- Please label all outer clothing as cool mornings turn into hot days
- On that note, please dress your children appropriately for the hot weather
- Make sure to check backpacks each night for important communication or classroom work
- Let us know if your child will need a lunch 24 hours ahead of time
- Fill out an absence request form every time your child is out.
- Please label everything…backpacks, water bottles, lunch boxes and any containers inside, and clothing.
- Specify if there are separate meals (breakfast, snack, lunch…please label which is which).
- Please have your child wash their hands upon arrival in the classrooms. THANKS!
