Spirit of Joy Preschool

What fun we had today celebrating another great preschool year! A special thank you to dedicated teachers & minstry colleagues, committed volunteers, and caring families. We are grateful to be a part of these moments with you.

Happy Mother's Day to all those who guide, lead, and share time with children of all ages. Wishing you a wonderful day knowing you are appreciated and thought of today.

What a fun field trip exploring nature and the amazing park! A special thanks to parents and chaperones who joined the event.

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall..."
As a part of Once Upon a Fairy Tale & Nursery Rhyme Week, students explored various scientific properties.
Project-The Egg Drop: How can you protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a ladder? Guess-What do you think will happen? Why? Try it. What did happen? Why? Fun!!

Cute quote of the day:
Playing outside with preschool friends when we stopped in our tracks to watch the birds... "Hey, is that a robber?!" Response: "Yep, that's a robin, another sign of spring! Nice job."
Robins, springtime moments we can count on.

This month, preschool Chapel time stories are also about Moses. Join the story time with your children- listen in on the podcasts by Pastor Eric and Miss Marnie, Chapel leaders. (And enjoy previous podcasts as well.)

Two day's in a row of new podcasts! Today's episode is day two of the story of Moses, building on what Pastor Eric talked about yesterday (if you haven’t listened to Part 1, we recommend checking out that episode first). Today, the story heads back to Egypt for the ten plagues (and Marnie’s issue with flies). Then, it continues to the Red Sea, God’s presence as a pillar of fire & clouds, wandering the wilderness for forty years, Mount Sinai, and the end of Moses’ life. Marnie and Eric conclude by connecting Moses to Jesus and the Gospels.

You can find the episode, or go back and listen to any of our previous episodes, on the platform of your choice (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Tithely, etc) or by following this link:

Oh, the places you'll go! Learning about transportation- names for parts of the car, what makes it move, how many wheels?
Thank you for sharing your wheels Atish, Pastor Eric, and Derris.

Preschoolers are learning about Holy Week in many ways- Chapel stories, dramatic play, tasting foods, singing songs, making art projects and more! Ask your Spirit of Joy Preschoolers to tell you story of Easter- it will be a treasured moment.

"What do you love about Spirit of Joy Preschool?"

We are sharing stories from young and old about their experience with this special ministry...
Preschool Parent Erica's perspective:
"All four of my children have attended Spirit of Joy Preschool over the past five years, and we have truly loved every minute of it. From the small group setting to the meaningful relationships the teachers build with each child, this school has been such a special place for our family.

One of the things we appreciate most is how the children are nurtured not only academically, but also in their relationship with God. Spirit of Joy has truly felt like a second home. My twins ask every day if it’s a school day because they love being there so much."
