Kangaroos Room

In our Kangaroos room, your preschooler will follow a structured educational routine consisting of Word of the Week, moving and learning, literacy programs, and more to encourage extended knowledge and mental growth. Our teachers are genuine and caring, greeting each child in the morning and taking the time to get to know them. We also focus on talking through emotions and validating feelings as well as potty training for your child.

Meal Time

We eat all of our meals in our room and wash our hands before and after eating. A menu can be found via the Daily Connect app and posted in our classroom. We serve breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack on a schedule. Children continue drinking milk using cups with no lids at meal times. For water cups we use cups with lids and straws. Water breaks are given frequently throughout the day.

If you prefer your child isn’t served what is on the menu or if your child has an allergy to what is being served, you are required to bring them an alternative. You can choose to do this daily or bring food for the freezer and we can heat it up on the days needed.

Potty Training

We continue potty training in this room and will take them potty at each potty time which is every 2-2 ½ hours. We have attached our potty training policy, please let us know if you have any questions.

Nap Time

Children in this room are given one afternoon nap that is right after lunch. Children sleep on cots and are given their blanket to be covered up with. Nap times are documented in the parent communication app.

Outside Play

We go outside year round in the morning and afternoon weather permitting. This may look like going to play on the playground or going for walks around the neighborhood. Please bring sunscreen that can stay here as we go outside as often as we can in the spring, summer, and fall. In the winter months we try to go outside when the weather is nice. Your child will need a winter coat, hat, waterproof gloves, snow pants, and snow boots daily as we try to go outside everyday. We will not go outside if the weather feels like 10 degrees or below.

Education

Beginning every late-August we begin our preschool curriculum-we use a combination of FrogStreet Threes and our own curriculum. The curriculum provides intentional instruction in key areas of development so children can continue on the path to kindergarten readiness. Our curriculum offers the following:
