Snacks
All snacks served will consist of all natural juices and nutritional foods, with the exceptions of birthdays and special day parties.
If your child should have any known food allergies, please make sure you have your childs teacher put it on file. We try to be a peanut free school. We do not allow any peanuts or nut products in our school. We have had experiences with nut allergies in the past and want to avoid any further occurrences.
Birthdays
All children will celebrate their birthday at school.
If their birthday falls when school is not in session an un-birthday will be scheduled. This allows every child to celebrate their birthday with their class. Parents for their childs birthday may bring in a special snack of their childs choice.
Helping Child of the Day
All children will be scheduled to be Helping Child of the Day. You will know which day your child is scheduled via the monthly calendar. This is their special day to help the teacher and do the weather, calendar and other various tasks.

In a caring and positive atmosphere, we create a warm and happy place for preschoolers to learn. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children to a continued good self-image while building social skills in a school setting.
Sensory, motor, perceptional and language skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher-directed. Work is planned which emphasizes the process rather than the product, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride. Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition.
Schedules are designed which balance structure and free choice as well as active and quite times. Recognizing that children grow in predictable stages, we trust each child as an individual, working from the level each child has attained and moving forward a step at a time.
We teach a love for learning by allowing children to experience their own stage of development and helping them to feel success without pressure. We value the active involvement of parents in our program, both through committee and classroom participation.
Our open door policy and helping parent days enable the children to see their parents as important and concerned members of the new school environment, while providing parents with opportunities to view the child with teachers and other children.
Parents may gain valuable insights and techniques from the expertise of the staff; and, at the same time, share their own talents and interests to maintain the excellent quality here at Lets Be Friends Preschool. School then becomes a shared experience which hopefully will continue throughout each childs education process
