The preschool is for children ages 3-5

Children will learn cooperation, problem solving, develop self-confidence, become more independent, develop listening skills, expressive language, learn about sharing, taking turns, develop creativity

and imagination, learn respect for others' feelings, and for others' property.

PHILOSOPHY

NEW JERUSALEM PRESCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS

February has passed us by quickly due to days off for President's Holiday and 2 snow days. Both classes celebrated Valentine's Day with parties that included a Valentine Card exchange and special snacks. Unfortunately, the snow storm caused the Pre-K class to cancel their field trip to the post office.

February was Children's Dental Health Month and we were pleased to have Pauli Connelly come and visit with our Pre-K class to teach the children about taking good care of their teeth as well as eating healthy snacks.

Our children in the 3 year old class have been busy with art projects about groundhogs, valentines, and Mardi Gras' masks.

We are certainly looking forward to the month of March and the arrival of spring. Some of the activities planned for March include a pajama party,
St. Patrick's Day parties, and coloring & hunting for Easter eggs.
