Easter at Tiny Hands Preschool



We had such a fun time at our Easter Egg Hunt. Somehow that sneaky Easter Bunny hid eggs all over Miss Crystal's yard without us even being able to see him through our big window. There were even some eggs right outside our classroom door. Amazing!

Now Registering for the 2009-2010 School Year

I am now accepting registration for Tiny Hands Preschool for the 2009-2010 school year. I will be teaching TWO classes next year:

3-Yr-Old Class (Child turns 4 before September 1, 2010)
Tuesday and Thursday 9:15-11:45 AM
$75 tuition each month / $50 registration fee


4-Yr-Old Pre-Kindergarten Class (Child turns 5 before September 1, 2010)
Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9:15-11:45 AM
$100 tuition each month / $50 registration fee

The 4-Yr-Old Pre-Kindergarten class will also participate in the following each month:

  • A Fieldtrip to a local venue (parents are encouraged to attend)
  • A “Kid's Kitchen” experience where our class can make fun, kid-friendly foods while also learning how to work and help in the kitchen.


The school year runs September through May, following the Meridian School District traditional schedule.

The curriculum is the right balance of structure and fun. We will focus on all the concepts your child needs for kindergarten, but we will also focus on the confidence, manners, listening and teamwork skills needed to succeed in school and life.


A Typical Day at Tiny Hands Pre-School
9:15-9:30 As each child arrives we will have gathering activities that include toys, games and puzzles to start getting the children focused on learning.

9:30-9:45 Once we are all gathered we will start the day with songs, the Pledge of Allegience, calendar, and communication activities.

9:45-10:15 “Office Time” at the children’s desks with learning activities and work sheets focused on letter and number recognition, phonics, math skills, colors, shapes, writing skills, etc.

10:15-10:30 Snack

10:30-10:45 Physical Activity (outside if weather permits)

10:45-11:00 Quiet Activities (books, learning programs, etc) to re-focus the children after snack and physical activity.
