Saint Victor’s Preschool held it’s 4th Annual Open house this past Thursday, October 16th. Our classroom doors were opened to parents and they were invited to look around and see what their children have been creating here at preschool. Sweet treats were offered to the parents as they made their way around they classroom, looking at the different creative areas, taking home all their child’s artwork, and speaking to their child’s teacher. We had such a wonderful open house. A BIG thank you to all who came out to open house!

Saint Victor’s preschool has a new friend! His name is “Blue” and he is our new preschool pet parakeet. Blue was donated at the beginning of the school year and has been keeping the children and teachers entertained ever since! Having a classroom pet teaches the children many valuable lessons and responsibilities such as – feeding Blue daily and making sure he is well fed, comfortable and clean! We love our Blue!

Before our highly anticipated new school year begins Monday September 8th, the staff of Saint Victor’s Preschool will be on hand this Saturday September 6th from 10:00am – 11:30am for our annual family orientation. This is your opportunity to see the classroom, meet your child’s teacher, familiarize yourself with preschool policies, etc. This is also a wonderful opportunity to meet and get to know other Saint Victor’s families. I look forward to seeing you all this Saturday!

 

What an amazing summer it has been! For our final week of summer camp – the children had lots and lots of water play, face painting, and movie days! A BIG thank you to the stellar staff for putting on a fantastic program and for our families that attended the summer — you rock!!!

We are now looking to our 2014-2015 school year!!

 

 

Our 5th week of summer camp brought with it a “Mad Science” theme to the preschool! The teachers planned several fun and highly entertaining science experiments which included making clean mud, observing how dry ice works and playing with colors. The end of the week brought our belated but highly anticipated field trip to the Los Angeles Zoo! The teachers, parents and children had such a wild time!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our fourth week of summer camp brought the “Around the world” theme. Our preschool is extremely diverse with many different cultures, backgrounds, and languages represented. We spoke with the children about all the qualities that make each of us unique and different as well as all the qualities that make us similar. It is the concept of “We are all different but the same”. We were very fortunate to sample many different types of foods from various countries, all to which the children enjoyed! Here are some of the highlights from our “Around the world” week!

They had a blast making beautiful wild animal themed crafts, singing animal songs, listening to animal stories and of course, acting like wild animals! It was a wild week of fun at Saint Victor’s Preschool!! We can’t wait for next week…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For week 2 of summer camp, the children learned all about the animals that live in the sea. They had fun learning about different types of dolphins, whales, jellyfish, and of course all the fish in the ocean. The teachers read stories, and sang songs about undersea life – with the favorite story read being “The Rainbow Fish” – and the favorite song was ” Slippery Fish”. The arts and crafts the children created simply beautiful! It was an amazing week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the first week of Saint Victor’s Preschool Summer camp! The theme of our inaugural week is cooking. This week the children made a fresh fruit salad, blended their very own fruit smoothie and baked blueberry muffins! The teachers also talked to the children about healthy eating and getting a lot of outdoor exercise and play to keep our bodies healthy. We also gave the children examples of healthy food choices and not so healthy food choices.

For our field trip of the week,  the entire preschool took a walk to our neighborhood Trader Joe’s store. We were given a tour of the entire store as well as the back area. The children had a wonderful time! A BIG thank you to the Trader Joe’s on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood.
