                                         NEW! Kindergarten Summer Bridge Program

                                         Litchfield Park Preschool is beginning a Kindergarten Summer Bridge Program for 4
                                         and 5 year old children entering Kindergarten in August 2019. The program goal is on
                                         kindergarten readiness as outlined in the Arizona Department of Education’s Arizona
                                         School Readiness Framework. The progressive theme-model and literacy-based
                                         curriculum will include letter knowledge, print and phonological awareness and
                                         emergent writing skills. Skill development will include physical, academic and
                                         socialization, language, fine and gross motor, math, reading readiness, self-care, and
                                         social-emotional. The program will assess and identify skill strengths and weaknesses
                                         and develop an individual skills set program for each student. Questions concerning
                                         the program? Please contact Seye White, Preschool Teacher or Chris Weaver,

                                           Ready, Set, Breakfast!
                                            Breakfast provides our children with the energy and nutrients that lead to
                                            increased concentration in the classroom. It also provides energy for
                                            activities during the morning and helps to prevent mid-morning slumps.

                                           Please participate in lost jacket and backpack prevention.
                                            Please remember to write your child’s name on jackets and backpacks.

                                           Please take you child to the restroom before class.
                                            For the safety of the children, we are unable to open the potty door until all the
                                            children have arrived and we have taken attendance.
