How things work in Corky's
Kids Hands-on Learning Preschool
My main focus is reading.
That is why it is mandatory for children to have reading books this
year. The books cost $12.00, and they are yours to keep. I believe
reading helps a child socially, scholastically, and spiritually! If
I am the only one helping them, they will be better off than not; but
if I am assisting YOU, they will soar!!! My goal for each of your
children is that they will soar! I will send your child home with a
sticker on his/her shirt when they pass off a book. (This is an
exciting day for your child.) PLEASE LET YOUR CHILD READ TO YOU EVERY
DAY!
Prayer- Heavenly Father is very interested in their learning. I will always do it with His help, so we will start each day with prayer. :) The children will take turns. I will help them if they need help.
Pick up and drop off- ON
TIME! ON TIME! Pick up and drop off on my side of the street. Please
don't let children cross the street without you. I will open the door
for the children to enter right at 10:00 for the morning class and
12:30 for the afternoon class. IF THEY ARE LATE, it is your
responsibility to bring them downstairs to the preschool room. But
please, disrupting a preschool class is so hard. Their focus is gone
so fast, and one late student really is a huge distraction.
Name- HOLD PENCIL. Please
help your child learn to hold a pencil by making “pincher fingers”
with his/her thumb and forefinger then resting the pencil on the
other three fingers. We work on their name at least once every day.
They will either use a laminated card (that will stay in class) or
they will have a name paper that they will take home.
Payment- I understand tight
checkbooks. I know there are hard months, but please budget preschool
into your monthly bills. I have to pay my bills on time; that is why
I had to set up a late fee this year.
