A week to go...

8/31/2016

It’s the last day in August and we’ve got a week to go until we meet you and start our year. Hope you got your welcome postcard? Preschool seems to take forever to start once the big kids go to school. Waiting is so hard, isn’t it? We are getting things ready for the open house, cleaning all the toys and planning our year. We are excited to get started!
The open houses are Wednesday and Thursday next week. You can come anytime between 9-11 a.m. to meet us. We will try to take your child’s picture that day, so we can put in on their cubby. Sometimes the child will be shy and not be up for that and that’s ok. We’ll catch them in play the next week and get it done. We will also be making their crowns and doing a shape/color page for us. We like them to do it with you, because they aren’t quite comfortable with us yet. Once they get familiar with our routines we can really get to work here. It’s going to be a great year at Messiah!
See you all soon!
MS

    Director
    Marianne Smith

    Marianne had been working for Messiah Lutheran's preschool since 2004 and became the director of their preschool in 2008. The program moved to American Lutheran Church in January of 2019. Marianne received her degree in early childhood studies. She has been in elementary or preschool settings as a teacher or assistant since 1987. After studying elementary Education and working in various elementary schools, she decided that preschool is really where her heart is. She actually enjoys the endless “why” questions from this age group. Working for a church takes this a step further, as she proudly gets to teach a Bible story based curriculum. She is pleased to be part of the staff at ALC. American Lutheran's Preschool is a welcoming space in which to learn and grow. The church’s mission is truly carried out in growing deep and reaching wide. Even the youngest members can make a joyful noise to the Lord!

    ​In 20-21 we added Rochelle Buyse to our team, Ms. Rochelle is the Youth and Education Director of ALC. She jumped in to help us during the pandemic and liked it so much she offered to stay on with us- adding to her duties at the church. She is a wife and mother of two grown girls. We are grateful to have her on board!

    Mrs. Smith's son Ryan (below) is our occasional sub and sidekick.  He has a degree in Education like his mother.
