Celebrations

It is hard to believe that this is our last month this year. Our preschool year is winding down and many of our preschoolers will be off to kindergarten in the fall.

We thank you for entrusting your child to us this year. We have enjoyed working with all of the children in our care and have seen growth, development and skill acquisition in all of our preschoolers.


We have also witnessed how the children have grown in the way they deal with frustration and the care and concern they express for one another. Our preschoolers have made lifelong friends and connections with one another. We are really impressed with the extended attention spans of these little ones. Our circle times and instructional activities have really expanded as the kids are able to sit longer and listen. Hoorah for preschoolers!!! Please make note of the special events coming up. The end of the preschool year is special, whether it means coming to the end-of-year celebration or attending graduation.

In My Garden

This month your child will be participating in a variety of fun and educational activities and experiences as they learn all about gardens.

We will be digging in the dirt, planting seeds, celebrating National Bird Day & Kite day, making bird feeders, discussing Cinco De Mayo, making Mother’s Day Gifts, digging for worms, making bean gardens, observing the life cycle of a butterfly, and much more.

Please note the calendar concerning preschool graduation, end of the year celebration for 3’s, garden service day, and our last day of school.

Our 4’s classes will be visiting the Kindergarten classrooms on Wednesday, May 19th. The Kindergarten teachers have invited us to come and participate in an activity with them.

We currently have a waiting list for next year’s 4’s class and just a few more spots available for our 3’s class. If you are enrolled for next year and encounter any changes over the summer, please email right away so someone else may have your place.

Cowboy Day

"Click Clack Moo"

The preschoolers absolutely love this book!! We had so much fun with this unit.

Three Little Pigs

Bansen Family Farms

Down on the Farm

Got Milk? Where did the milk come from? This month the preschoolers will learn the answer to this question and much more about life on a farm. We have a lot planned for the kids this month including a field trip to a local farm. The kids will participate in many “farm themed” educational based activities in the classroom. We will finish out the year with a market set up in our dramatic play area. The train center has been converted into a farm center. Dr. Miller (local dentist) has donated a large wooden barn with animals to our preschool.

This month the preschoolers will also make their own butter, have fun with western week, celebrate Earth Day, Easter Egg Hunt, and participate in National Library Day. Don’t be surprised if they come home chanting:
“Click-Clack Moo, Clickity-Clack Moo”.

We are also looking forward to one of our favorite books, “The Three Little Pigs”. Preschoolers love acting this one out.

Happy Farming!

Penguin Parade & Igloos

Welcome 2010

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed some time off to be with family and friends.

Thank you so much for giving us the privilege of working with your children. How lucky we are to be a part of their lives, and to watch them grow and develop into amazing little people.

As we start a new year at Learning for Life Preschool we are looking forward to some great discovery.

In January, we will learn all about penguins. The preschoolers will participate in many enrichment based activities including their first lapbook.

Gingerbread Baby

The Learning for Life Preschool is planning for a fun and eventful December.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays filled with family joy and cheer. It is our hope that love and kindness will fill our preschool as the kids participate in our preschool Christmas activities.

Christmas is a great opportunity to teach our children about friendship, love, service, and giving. It is also a time to celebrate the things that our important in our lives. As always we will not be discussing the religious aspects of Christmas.

Some of the fun filled activities we have planned this month include; decorating gingerbread men, hanging stockings, singing carols, silver & gold day, making ornaments, card making, Christmas projects, Holiday party/program, Gingerbread Baby play, and much more.

Be sure to check the calendar for event dates.

The Learning for Life Preschool is looking forward to celebrating our school year with a special preschool graduation.

It is scheduled for Wednesday June 3rd. This event will be held at Carlton Elementary School at 6:30 pm.

All preschoolers will participate in the graduation, not just the kids attending Kindergarten next year. It is a celebration of the many things we learned this year. The kids have been working hard on a little program to share with their parents. We hope to see you there!

In My Garden

In April, we had a lot of fun with this theme. I think the kids enjoyed digging in the dirt the most.

Some of our highlights include: Bunny Easter Egg Hunt, planting peas, worm discovery and making our worm farms, the garden wall mural, Earth Day Celebrations, recycling and litter patrol, Mr. Winky (our new class tortoise), baby chicks, making stepping stones for carnival, and much more.

What a great month at preschool!!

Thank you Flavors of Carlton

The Learning for Life Preschool is grateful for the generous donations from Flavors of Carlton.

What a thrill to have so much community support!
Thank you!!

We received $6,800 in total donations.
Our preschool plans on using this money to further develop our discovery centers. This includes literacy tools, books, listening center, etc.

As our families have been affected by the economy, we would also like to provide scholarships to those in need.

Learning for Life strives to be available to all families. It is our goal to keep tuition costs low and we are always seeking resources for scholarships.
