2K Preschool

Thank you for allowing us to have the opportunity to minister to your child through the 2K Preschool program here at Smoke Rise preschool.

We will begin our first day of the 2K Preschool curriculum on Monday, August 22nd at 8 a.m. It is of utmost importance for your child to arrive on time to receive the full benefit of the Abeka program. Please do not bring your child during their naptime as this disrupts the children's sleeping patterns in the classroom. You must check your child in and out each day with your child's swipe card at the front desk.

There are a few other things to address concerning our daily routine:

  • Please do not allow your child to bring a toy. 
  • We do however allow you to bring blankets or a sleep toy, but it will be put away until nap time.

Please write your child's name on all of their belongings.

  • Each child that is enrolled in full-time childcare is required to have a mat for nap time.
  • Mats for nap time are to be provided by the parent.
  • The mat should be taken home every Friday to be washed and brought back the following Monday.

Please write your child's name on all of their belongings.

  • We recommend for tennis shoes to be worn.
  • Please understand we do not change shoes/clothes for playtime.
  • A mid-morning snack will be provided for your child; however, you may send a different light snack and drink if you prefer.
  • You may bring a sippy cup for your child. It must be taken home at the end of the day.
  • Please provide your child with a change of clothes daily. 
  • If your child wears pull-ups, bring only Velcro pull-ups for us to use.

Please write your child's name on all of their belongings.

  • You can drop your child off as early as 6:30 a.m.
  • You may bring breakfast for your child (We provide milk for cereal). Breakfast time ends at 7:50 a.m., to allow time to clean up, and so we can begin our day promptly at 8:00 a.m.
  • Saying the pledge to the flag
  • Learning memory verses
  • Prayer time and music time

Each child will have his/her Abeka workbooks consisting of:

  • Learning Numbers with Button Bear
  • Child's Art for 2's 
  • Arts and Crafts with Button Bear
  • Throughout the year we have several parties such as our fall party (Halloween), Thanksgiving Feast, Christmas, Valentine's, Easter Egg Hunt, and our end of the year party.
