When dropping off and picking up your child, please park your car in the parking lot and walk to the gate. A staff member will assist with a safe transition between parent and school. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in keeping all our "little learners" safe.

Helping your preschooler gain independence is importance for building confidence. There are many ways you can nurture independence at home.

• Start small. Before going outside encourage your child to put on their own hat and get their shoes.
• Let your child choose. Involve them in choices, like what to wear. Provide 2-3 options, and then praise their great ability to make a choice!
• Let your child help. Children love to help! When you allow your child to help, even if it takes you longer to get things done, you build their confidence and give them an opportunity to learn something new.
• Let your child solve problems. Allow your children to try things that are hard and to solve small problems on their own.
• Give your child chores. Simple tasks like picking up toys or putting laundry in the basket allow your child to have reasonable responsibility.
