My friend Jamie from Play to Learn Preschool wrote this great blog post about separation anxiety that I wanted to share with you before we start. Some children are a bit slower to warm up to their school experience and that's OK. We will work together to make it a positive adventure for them It just might take a few classes of nerves before they are comfortable. Take a deep breath and know we've got this! 
Can't wait to get started with another year in Preschool with you!

It’s time to BEE excited for a new year in our preschool!
 
Hello from Mrs. Smith and Mr.Bee. We're excited to get started with your children in preschool this fall. We still have some room in both classes if you know anyone who is looking for a preschool. We will have Open houses for the classes on Wed/Thurs the 4th/ 5th of September. Come with your child any time between 9-11 am to meet us and do a few things to get ready. I’ll take their photo for their cubby etc. Then on the 6th/ 10th you will drop off your child by 9 to start our fun.
Mr. Bee is ready to teach them how we bee-have in our school (be nice, be safe, be a friend etc.). He’s looking forward to seeing some of his old friends in our MWF class and meeting all of his new friends too.

Feel free to call me at school with any questions at 252-4171 
 See you soon! Mrs. Smith

    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.
