Hope Grimes Preschool Information
Classroom Learning and Play
Each day is focused around structured and unstructured activities. Our classroom encourages play through various stations including dramatic play, science and discovery, creation station, writing, blocks and building, and listening and reading.
Ways to Get Involved
We would love for parents to get involved! Parents are more than welcome to join our classroom to volunteer during the first hour of the day. We also extend the invitation to parents to read to the class or help with special events like our classroom parties. We have additional family events throughout the year including an open house in the fall, a Christmas program in December, and an exciting graduation celebration for our Pre-K and Transitional Kindergarten students in May.
Parent Communication
Weekly and monthly newsletters will be provided to parents to share events and interest areas throughout the month. Teachers will send home “conversation starters” to spark conversation with your child about what they are learning, the songs they are singing and all the exciting play they had throughout the week.
Conferences
Conferences are held between parent(s) and teacher(s) to discuss their child’s growth and all their accomplishments at school. Parent-teacher conferences are held in the spring for our 3-year-old, Pre-K and Transitional Kindergarten classes. If your child is in the 2-year-old class, no formal conferences are held. However, parents are welcome to inquire about their child’s learning at any point throughout the school year.
