We had a GREAT Parent-Teacher Orientation at Clays Mill CARES! 🍎📚✏️
We are excited and ready for another wonderful year of learning and growing together!
Our classrooms are ready, our teachers are prepared, and we loved having the opportunity to meet with our parents and share what their children will be learning this year. From our Abeka curriculum and classroom routines to schedules, expectations, and lots of hands-on learning, we’re looking forward to a great year!
At Clays Mill CARES, we want our children to have a place where they are loved, cared for, challenged, and excited to learn every day. ❤️
A BIG thank you to all of our parents who came to orientation and to our teachers who have worked so hard getting their classrooms ready!
📚 We’re ready for the 2026–2027 school year!

🎓 More Than Child Care. More Than Just Preschool. 📚

At Clays Mill CARES, we believe children are capable of learning far more than many people realize. That's why our Early Preschool and Preschool classes use the proven Abeka Curriculum—a comprehensive, academically focused program designed to give children a strong foundation before they ever step into kindergarten.

Our students don't just play—they learn! Each day they're developing skills in:
🍎 Phonics and early reading
✏️ Handwriting
🔢 Math and number concepts
🌎 Science and social studies
🎨 Fine motor development
🤝 Social skills and cooperative learning
🧠 Listening skills, problem-solving, and classroom readiness

By the time our students complete our preschool program, they have been challenged with a structured curriculum that helps prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. We believe giving children a strong academic foundation early builds confidence, develops independence, and creates a lifelong love of learning.

If you're looking for a preschool that emphasizes academic excellence while helping children build strong social skills and confidence, we'd love to show you the difference.

As we head into the weekend, Winter Storm Fern is expected to move through our area and could bring a serious mix of snow and ice from Friday through Sunday (January 23–25). Some forecasts are even suggesting heavy accumulation or icing that could make travel unsafe and possibly affect power in our city.

We want you to be prepared—and more than that, we want you to know you’re not alone. Please take a little time now to get ready and reach out if you need help.

A few things to prepare ahead of the storm:
• Warmth & heat: extra blankets, warm clothing, and one room you can stay in if power is lost
• Light & power: flashlights (instead of candles), fresh batteries, fully charged phones, and a battery pack if you have one
• Food & water: at least three days’ worth of simple, no-cook meals and bottled water (don’t forget a manual can opener)
• Health needs: refill prescriptions, keep a written list of medications, and have a small first-aid kit ready
• Home safety: salt or sand for steps and walkways, allow faucets to drip if temperatures drop, and know where your main water shutoff is
• Generators: if you use one, it must be operated outdoors only—never in a garage or enclosed space

If the power goes out:
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible
• Use flashlights rather than candles
• Check on a neighbor if you are able, especially anyone who lives alone

We’re praying for you and your families!
