Pattonville Preschool News
April 2019
Note from the Director
Spring is finally here! The children are so grateful to be able to go outside to play on the playground and staff appreciate the warmer car duty days. This month we celebrate the Week of the Young Child. The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual celebration hosted by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) to spotlight early learning, young children, their teachers, families, and communities. In honor of this week, we have several activities planned. Children and teachers will be celebrating on Music Monday with a dance party, Tasty Tuesday with freezer pops, Working Together Wednesday with fun collaborative motor activities, Artsy Thursday with creative art and Family Friday by showing their Pattonville Pride and wearing spirit wear or green. Below you will find a home connection of ways you can celebrate at home.
In Partnership,
Mary Krekeler
