Congratulations to Our Pre-K Graduates!
What a special day celebrating our amazing Pre-K class as they graduated from Catalina United Methodist Day School! We are so proud of all they have learned, the friendships they have built, and the incredible growth they have shown throughout the year.
As they take their next big step into kindergarten, we know they will continue to shine, explore, and achieve great things. Thank you to our families for trusting us to be part of your child's early learning journey. It has been a privilege to watch these children learn, laugh, and grow.
We wish our graduates and their families a wonderful summer and all the best as they begin their kindergarten adventure! ❤️📚🍎

✨🌟 May the Fourth Be With You! 🌟✨
Our Super Friends Pre-K class brought the force to Catalina today! 💫 From brave heroes to galactic explorers, these little learners had an out-of-this-world time using their imaginations, teamwork, and LOTS of energy (we felt the force for sure! 😉).
At Catalina, we love creating moments where learning meets fun—and today was definitely one for the galaxy books! 🚀💚

Celebrating the Week of the Young Child at Catalina!
What a joyful and activity-filled week we had celebrating our amazing children, families, and teachers!
Music Monday - Our Pre-K friends were treated to a special visit from a parent volunteer who sang and played guitar—such a fun and meaningful experience! Our 3’s got creative making their own shakers, and another classroom enjoyed a lively dance party.
Tasty Tuesday - Little chefs were busy in the classrooms! Children made fruit salad, yogurt parfaits, and even explored new flavors with a tasting of jellies and jams—so much learning through food!
Work Together Wednesday - Teamwork was on full display! One Pre-K class worked together to build an incredible castle, while our 2’s and 3’s collaborated and created with blocks.
Artsy Thursday - Creativity took over with lots of colorful chalk art fun outside—our playground became a masterpiece!
Family Friday - We wrapped up the week with a beautiful Family Teddy Bear Picnic on the Pine Tree Patio on Thursday. Families joined us for brunch snacks, connection, and community. The celebration ended with a sweet teddy bear parade led by our Pre-K students—such a special moment!
Thank you to all of our wonderful families for being part of this week and helping us celebrate the magic of early childhood.
