REGISTRATION FOR 2012/2013
Saturday,
November 5th
9:00 AM – noon
Dear Parents,
Because Christ Lutheran Preschool fills to capacity almost a year in advance, we want to ensure all of our current families a pre-registration opportunity for next September’s placement. On Saturday, November 5th, registration for Fall 2012 begins at 9:00 AM and will end at noon. The south doors will open at 9:00 AM, and parents may line up to register in the order you enter the building. Registration is on a first come, first served basis. THERE WILL BE NO SIGN-UP SHEET POSTED ON THE DOOR. YOU MUST BE IN LINE WHEN THE DOORS OPEN.
Be assured that we can accommodate a spot for you – however, please be flexible with both a first choice and a second choice for class days/times. A non-refundable $90 registration fee is required for all (returning and new) students. Many of our morning classes fill first. Attached is a comprehensive list for our class offerings. All current preschool and Tot Co-op parents, regardless of class dates or times, are invited to register on Saturday
Additional Notes:
1. Please come with both first and second choice class preferences.
2 Sign-up sheets will not be honored by the preschool. In the past, parents have posted sign-up sheets on the door or passed around sign-up sheets. You must remain in line.
3. A $90 registration fee is required to secure your child’s class selection.
4. There is no group sign-up. If you are unable to register, you may send a representative. Each parent (or representative) may register only for immediate family members (no cousin/friend registration).
5. If you are unable to attend the registration Saturday, November 5th, you may place the attached registration form in the box on the cart in the hallway BEFORE NOVEMBER 5th, and a lottery system will determine your child’s class. These forms will be processed after November 5th but before the general public. The $90 Registration fee must accompany the form. Only one form is needed per family.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
The 3 year old programs
The focus of the 3 year old programs is separation from parents, social interaction, sharing, taking turns, transitioning between activities, independence, following directions, small motor development, large motor development, beginning perceptual and conceptual development (letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.) and language development. All classes are for children who love learning through play while having fun in a loving Christian environment.
Young 3′s Program
M/W/F AM (Dolphins) or T/Th AM (Starfish)
Our Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes are designed for the younger child turning 3 years old between September 1st and December 31st or who might benefit from a smaller class and a more intimate preschool experience. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule gently introduces preschool to your child, while the Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule invites familiarity and routine for your child to adjust a little bit faster to preschool. The class generally accommodates only 8 children and follows the 3-year old curriculum in content and pace.
Main 3′s Program
M/W/F AM (Sea Turtles) or M/W/F PM (Angelfish);
T/Th AM (Sea Horses) or T/Th PM (Whales)
These classes are for children who are 3 years old before September 1st. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule gently introduces preschool to your child. If your child is actively involved in outside sports, gymnastics or playgroups – this is the class for you. The 5-day span from Thursday to Tuesday allows for a longer weekend and extra curricular activities. The Monday-Wednesday-Friday patterned time schedule helps children adjust quicker to preschool while allowing more time during the week for learning and fun!
The Young 4 year old program
This program continues the “learning while having fun” focus with more hands-on experiences through perceptual and conceptual development, large and small motor skills, observation skills and continued personal and social development. These programs guide your child’s learning through exploration, discovery, art and play. Activities include math, science, language arts, music, spiritual enrichment and art. We offer many experiences that stimulate children’s curiosity.
M/T/Th AM (Monkeys)
The young 4′s program is similar in curriculum and content to the 3-day Pre-K class, but at a more relaxed pace. The young 4′s class offers a warm and inviting environment for children who are turning 4 between September 1st and December 31st.
The Pre-Kindergarten Programs
The Pre-Kindergarten classes are for children who are in their last year of preschool before entering Kindergarten. The classes emphasize the creative process of learning through hands-on experiences in science, math and language arts. The children play and experiment with actual objects: holding, touching, comparing, graphing, drawing and cutting. The children explore the world around them in many ways. These comprehensive Kindergarten readiness programs concentrate on whole child development. These classes are for children turning 4 before September 1st.
3-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
M/W/F AM (Birds) or M/W/F PM (Bees);
T/W/Th AM (Butterflies)
The (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday) midweek class is ideal for children (and parents) who love a long weekend! This class is structured to have three consecutive days of preschool to form a continuity of learning. The alternating schedule (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) is designed for children who may enjoy outside activities in the middle of the week.
4-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday AM (Lions)
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday PM (Tigers)
The 4-day per week program provides an alternative to the 3-day and 5-day schedule. These students will be in class with the 5-Day students Monday through Thursday.
5-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday AM (Lions)
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday PM (Tigers)
This 5-day per week program prepares your child for a 5-day Kindergarten schedule. It provides additional time each week for your child to experience even more science, math and language arts before entering Kindergarten. This continuity of coming to preschool every day enhances the relationship between teacher and student.
