The goal is to spark curiosity, inspire big dreams, and help our little learners see the endless possibilities for their futures!

Ms. Justine has created a beautiful and friendly candy monster named Genevive to help us prepare for the sweetest Trunk or Treat yet! Feed the Candy Monster, and Genevive will share all the treats with everyone at Trunk or Treat! 🍬💕

Our goal is to make this the ultimate family night and ensure that every student has plenty of sweet treats to enjoy.

Itty Bitty Ball is a fun and active local program through the South End Community Center where little kids can build confidence, teamwork, and basketball skills while making new friends. Growing up in Springfield; the place where basketball was invented makes Bitty Ball an exciting way for children to be part of the city’s rich basketball tradition from an early age!!

At Balliet Preschool, we have so much more than just a principal to appreciate today. Amanda Santana is not only our principal; she is a guiding light, a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, and a voice of reason. She comes to school each day radiating love and kindness and is always looking for ways to support staff, students, and families.
Principal Santana is deeply passionate about education and is constantly seeking new ways to help everyone succeed. She leads with compassion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to creating a positive and inclusive school community where everyone feels valued and heard. With nearly 18 years of dedicated service to Springfield Public Schools, she brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and heart to everything she does. She is truly one in a million.

We love you Principal Santana, and we are grateful for everything that you do for all of us every single day!🩷🩷🩷🩷
