Valentine’s Day at WVCA Preschool

Valentine’s Day is an opportunity for the teachers to share content

about love, family, and friendships. Play comes naturally to children,

but in group settings, they are developing skills that will impact

them for a lifetime. Empathy, cooperation, turn taking, patience,

and so many more critical skills at work through friendships.

The single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation

is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child

gets along with other children.– Dr. Willard Hartup Edd

Classrooms will be celebrating uniquely in each room. Please make sure to watch

for emails and notes home from your classroom teachers for details. Activities

may include crafts, creative art, special songs, and valentine sharing.

Please make sure anything brought to school is store bought, and

individually wrapped.

Teaching Children to become Independent with Daily Routines

Our WVCA Preschoolers have been excellent helpers in the classrooms, and have responded with excitement

to each classroom’s Daily Job Chart. Preschoolers in general love to help, and feel independent. Allowing them

to start to be an active responsible participant in the class-

room and at home is a great way to build confidence, while

preparing them for the future. It is also a great self-care sup-

port to parents by giving back some time that use to be con-

sumed by having to do tasks for your child that they can now

do on their own.

Check out the great article attached to your newsletter email

this month. It provides insight on how to teach your child to

start being independent, as well as lists age appropriate tasks

you can teach.
