Dear Families,
By now, you should have received an email from either Sheri or Elizabeth with some initial information about remote learning for preschool (sent 3/16). Please feel free to let us know if you have questions about the paper packet we put together to get you started!
As we settle into this process, we'll be sending each one of you an activity sheet, geared specifically toward your child and his or her learning needs. This will be sent out via email.
We will use this website to share additional resources as we curate and collect them. For now, you can check out the first few below, as well as visit our updated pinterest page.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns, and we'd love for you to send updates, notes from your kids, and photos! Take care, and be well!
:) Elizabeth, Sheri, & Alicia
