Information regarding Kindergarten 2020:

It is that time of year where we are planning ahead for Preschool Graduation 2020!  If you have a child that is eligible for Kindergarten in the fall of 2020, it is important that you inform Cindy as soon as possible as to whether or not you are planning to send them to school, or have them wait until next year.  If you find your are on the fence with your decision, we will do Kindergarten assessments on ALL of the eligible children during the month of April that will be sent home for the parents to evaluate and hopefully help make that decision a bit easier.  

If your child is eligible for Kindergarten in the fall of 2020, and you have chosen to wait until next year, please inform Cindy of this ASAP.  The reason being, is we prefer to make any necessary alterations to our classrooms sooner than later.  Between now and May, we work with our Kindergarten eligible children to buildup their confidence as they prepare for their new adventure.  We explain the expectations that their teachers will have for them next year in Kindergarten.  Ultimately, there is a great deal of hype surrounding the idea of "Kindergarten" in general.  It is heartbreaking to prepare a child for Kindergarten and have them eager to go, only to let them down later on by informing them that in fact, they won't be moving on this year with their peers.  It is far easier to move them to another group now if you are certain they will be waiting until next year!

We will begin rehearsing for our Preschool Graduation the first week of May.  Please let Cindy know no later than Friday, April 24 if your child will not be moving on to Kindergarten.  It is quite difficult to explain to a child why they were going to be participating in the program, but they aren't anymore.

Registration for Kindergarten can begin as early as March for some area schools.  Please see Cindy if you have any questions or concerns.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

We would like to send out a big thank you to all of the families here at Discovery for their generosity and support with our community fundraiser.  Our Preschoolers and their families dug deep into their pockets and collected a grand total of $485.46 in pennies and various other coins and bills for the "Toys for Tots" program!  

Also, a very special thank you to the families of Cooper Osterwyk-McKnight & Amelia Mikes for taking this money and spending the day purchasing the toys!
