An excellent preschool program can give children long-term benefits that follow them into adulthood. That’s what one study found when researchers tracked children through high school and beyond. In this important study, data revealed that children in an excellent part-day preschool program had less need for special education, less grade retention, and significantly higher high school graduation rates than children who did not attend a good preschool.—National Research Foundation

Preschool Store during Money Week


Recently, we spent some time learning a little about money. For a culminating activity, we had a little preschool store! A BIG THANKS to all the parents who donated items for our store.

Each child had a special bag, and about 20 cents. They bought one thing at a time, gave me the money, and then went through the line again and bought something else, until all their money was gone.
The kids loved this- and it was fun to see what they bought!

I think next year, we will be doing more with our preschool store!
