What a wonderful morning at our 1st Annual Preschool VIP Breakfast last week! Our Little Raiders were so excited to welcome their special guests to school.
Families enjoyed delicious cinnamon rolls and juice while interacting with the other preschool families. After breakfast, the students proudly shared their projects and learning highlights from throughout the year with their VIPs. From art creations to classroom discoveries, it was a joyous celebration of growth, creativity, and connections.
Thank you to all of our VIPs for joining us and making the morning so special. We can't wait to continue this sweet new tradition!

Our Preschool Preview is the perfect first step into the world of school!
Led by our caring ECFE staff, this 14-week experience gently supports children as they transition into preschool. Each week, children enjoy developmentally appropriate large and small group activities designed to introduce important preschool skills like listening, sharing, taking turns, and following routines.
We gather together for snack time, practice classroom expectations, and explore during free play — where friendships begin and social skills blossom. This year, we had a full class where students were able to form lots of friendships.
By the end of the session, our little learners are feeling confident, comfortable, and excited for school next year. We can’t wait to watch them grow!
