"Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching."
Letter from the Director
Dear Redeemer Community,
 
We have a lot to learn from our little ones. What if…
 
What if we embraced someone with a bear hug and enormous smile just because?
 
What if we wore something for no other reason than it makes us happy?
 
What if we broke into spontaneous ...

What's happening in the classrooms?
Mrs. Schroeder & Miss Ball's 3s

The 5 Day 3s have been enjoying our time stuck in the classroom because of the rain. We have been creating Valentines, working on our cutting skills, playing friendship games so much more. We have been exploring multiple units all at once; Valentines, Friendship, All About Us & Senses. With all of this rain please remember to pack extra tennis shoes in your child's back pack. Our three year olds have been tripping in their boots! We hope everyone enjoys their Valentines Day!
Find out what's going on in all our classes.
Program Highlights:
A lot has been going on in the Day School over the past month. Our students were treated to a special puppet show put on by the Blue Sky Puppet Theater . We were especially thrilled when they made the comment that our group was one of the most well-behaved they have seen! Believe it our not, we have been in school for over 100 days! Just ask our kindergarten and pre-first mathematicians all about it. They loved celebrating the 100th Day of School through this annual tradition! We also celebrated Donuts at the Day School with our special guests. It was a treat to show them our classrooms and give them a small glimpse of a day in the life of a preschooler. Thank you to the Salehs and Leverings for ensuring a smooth donut-filled morning! Our Galentine's Bingo Night was a huge success! Not only did everyone enjoy delicious drinks and dinner, there was some friendly competition and great prizes to be won. Thank you to Meghan Nee and Margee Sullivan for all of their help in bringing everyone together, while also raising money for our program and students! And of course, preschool wouldn't be preschool without lots of love and celebration for Valentine's Day!
