Can You Take 5?? The week of April 24th-28th is the Week of the Young Child.  The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to recognize the importance of the early childhood years.  As part of our celebration we will be giving parents the opportunity to “take 5 minutes” to spend with their child in the form of a short activity to do together each afternoon at pick up.  Please take 5 extra minutes out of your schedule to visit your child’s classroom during the Week of the Young Child to appreciate the joy of childhood.  We will end the week with a Chili Feed Fundraiser on April 28th!  If you are free please join us.  If you have any questions about the Take 5 activities please contact the school office at (785) 232-0263 or email us at ucdpreschool@sbcglobal.net. 

Field Day: Field day will be April 18th for the Toddler, Preschool, and Kindergarten Readiness classrooms.  Students will need to wear tennis shoes and socks in order to participate.

Chili Cook Off Fundraiser:  In order to help raise money to replace our current pea gravel on the playground with a softer, rubber mulch, UCD will be holding a Chili Cook Off Fundraiser on Friday, April 28th at 5:30 PM.  Please see the office to enter your chili. Winner will receive a $25 tuition credit.
