🎒 Getting Ready for the First Day of Preschool! 🍎✨

The first day of preschool is almost here, and we can't wait to welcome our newest learners! 💙❤️💛💚

One question we hear often is, "What does my child need to bring?" The good news is... no school supplies are required! 🎉

Your child's teacher may share an optional classroom wish list later in the year, but there are no mandatory supply lists for preschool.

Here's what we do ask families to send:

🎒 A full-size backpack
Big enough to carry home artwork, papers, and special projects.

👕 A complete change of clothes
Accidents and messy play are all part of learning! Please send a labeled set of clothes in a zip-top bag.

🍎 Meals (Optional)
Families may choose to send breakfast, lunch, and/or a snack from home if they prefer.

🧸 Full-Day Preschool Students Only
Children attending full-day preschool may bring a small blanket and/or one comfort item for rest time.

We can't wait to learn, play, grow, and make wonderful memories together this school year! ❤️
