September Registration Registration for the 2012/2013 preschool year is here. Again next year we will begin the Monday, after Labor Day and end the 2nd Thursday in June. Registration & Admission forms are included in this newsletter or you can pick one up in the preschool office. On Thursday, March 1st, we will open enrollment to our waiting list, so please turn your registration form in before March 1st to make certain your child is assigned to a classroom. Remember Pre K and the Monday/Wednesday/Friday 4-year-old classrooms can fill up overnight, so get your registration form, fill it out and turn it right back in! Just because you have a 3-day space this year does not guarantee your child a 3-day space next year. Everyone must re-register!!! If you are behind in tuition this year, only a 2-day space will be available for the 2012/13 preschool year. • Currently enrolled children and their siblings have first priority, as well as, First Methodist Church families. • Children must be 2 years 9 months by September 30 (3 by December 31) and Toilet Trained – No Pull-ups! • To be eligible for our Pre K Program children should be 5 by December 2, 2012. Those with late summer or fall birthdays benefit most from an additional year of developmental and social growth before entering kindergarten. Children turning 5 after December 2 may also be considered for enrollment in Pre K on an individual basis, space permitting and with staff recommendation. Legislation was passed stating that children entering Kindergarten in 2012 must turn 5 by November 1, 2012 to be eligible, however the state seems to be in a quandary about that decision, so please check with your local elementary school ATTENTION PARENTS YOUR FALL REGISTRATION IS ENCLOSED IN THIS NEWSLETTER EVERYONE MUST RE-REGISTER I am different, I am unique In the way I laugh and the way I speak. My ears, my eyes, and my nose, From my hair down to my toes. I am special, yes siree, Proud and happy to be me! Children Learn What They Live If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. In Memory of First United Methodist Church Preschool’s first Director, Mrs. Faith Ruddell whom found love everywhere she went.
