Every Day is an ADVENTURE at HPS Preschool:

  • Our day starts with breakfast to give our brain and body energy for the day.
  • During morning meeting we talk about the fun things we are going to do during the day.
  • We get to play outside with our friends, and explore our naturescape playgrounds.
  • In our classroom we learn through play during choice time. Our classrooms are set up with different areas, such as: art, library, math and science, blocks, toys and games, dramatic play, sensory and much more! 
  • Every day we have a large group read aloud, and also break into small groups where teachers work with students on specific learning objectives.
  • We get to eat a healthy lunch, and enjoy more time exploring on our playgrounds. 
  • By then, our bodies are getting tired, so we take a break with a rest time. 
  • We finish our day with a snack, and get ready to go home for the day.

This month, we are celebrating National Nutrition Month, an annual campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This year’s theme focuses on how we can fuel our bodies for the future while enjoying the flavors of the present! In this month's Nurse Notes:

  • Fuel for the Future
  • Nutrition by the Numbers
  • "Monster" Energy Bites

Whether you are a student fueling up for a big test, a staff member looking for an afternoon energy boost, or a parent planning family dinners, nutrition is the foundation for success in and out of the classroom.
