St. Paul's Preschool Open House

ESTABLISHED ROCHESTER CO-OP PRESCHOOL PLANS NEW SCHOOL YEAR AS A DROP-OFF PRESCHOOL

Little chairs, little tables, little books, little windows to see little birds – all that is missing are the little children with little hands to touch every little thing! Enrollment has now begun for St. Paul’s Preschool in Rochester. The facility includes a classroom, an indoor play room and an outdoor play area.

St. Paul’s Preschool was originally established in 1964 and will open for the 2011-2012 school year as a drop-off program, fully staffed by highly skilled and credentialed teachers and assistants.  Volunteer opportunities will be available for parents if they choose, but will not be required.

DeeDee Heberling is a familiar face to many parents of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, through her participation in Vacation Bible School and Sunday school. Miss DeeDee, will soon become a familiar face to many current 3 and 4 year olds as well as she begins her new role as the teacher for St. Paul’s Preschool. DeeDee, a mother of three children is married to Kurt and has been a resident of the Rochester area for over 7 years.  She has previous experience teaching 4-year-old preschool and has been a guest teacher in Rochester Community Schools for the past two years. “I am excited to be planning a wide variety of experiences for the children.”

St. Paul’s provides high-quality learning with emphasis on the individuality of each child.  Our certified teaching staff will engage your child in hands-on experiences and exploration activities that nurture their basic developmental needs: physical, language, cognitive, social and emotional.

Activities include art, music and movement, science, language arts, fine and gross motor play, dramatic play, outdoor play and a weekly chapel experience as part of our teacher planned curriculum.

The preschool will offer half day mornings for 3 and 4-year-old (preschools.) Four-year-old Preschool will be Monday-Wednesday-Friday mornings, 9:00 a.m. – noon; three-year-old Preschool will be Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 9:00 a.m. – noon. All children must be the designated age by December 1 and potty trained.

In addition to the 3 and 4-year-old programs, there is a Parent-tot program for 2-year-olds and their parent/guardian for 1¼ hours once a week.

We are very excited about our preschool programs and look forward to serving you and your children.  We welcome you to come preview the center and meet the teachers on Thursday, May 19 from 10:00 a.m.—noon. The Preschool is located inside St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, located at 620 Romeo Street, just north of downtown Rochester.
