Open Houses

9/8/2016

0 Comments

 
Yesterday and today we had our open house for each class. We had some shy introverts and some enthusiastic extroverts at both. We can't wait until next week when we can really get to know your child's personality. There are 14 students back from last year. There are also a lot of siblings of past students in each class. It's fun when it is finally their turn to come to school. 

We are going to have so much fun with your children this year. Next week we will spend most of our time getting to know each other and learning how the school routine will work. It's ok if you have to leave them screaming in our arms at 9 a.m.  We will make sure they are safe and learn to be comfortable at school. It's also ok if they really don't want to leave us at the end of the day. That's a good sign, even if you carried them out kicking and screaming. You are not the only parent this is happening to on either end. We are all there to support you and make this a terrific, fun learning experience for your child. 
It's going to be a great year!  See you on Monday or Tuesday next week.

    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.
