It's been almost officially 1 month since preschool started so it's time for an update.
The four children we started the year with adapted to the routine like experts. We have enjoyed getting to know one another and learn the daily routine of preschool. It's so cool to see all the toys that had been sitting in storage now getting played with every day. This month, the top two hits have been the kitchen area and the water table. There's not a day that goes by where children aren't playing in one of those areas. By far the best part of the day, and the most important is Bible time. It is such a privilege to be able to share Jesus with these children, some hearing about Him for the first time. Faith in a child is incredible to see and hear. I could tell a child was really thinking hard when she asked, "Is God married?" After telling her no she asked, "But I thought he had a Son..?"
Enrollment is still at four children, although some of the faces have changed. We now have all girls. There are still a few leads for more children, and we hope the promotional effort will continue as we look to do mailings, pass out preschool goodie bags at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on November 29th, and hold an Open House mid February. I think our biggest promotional idea is WORD OF MOUTH! So please share information about our preschool with as many people as you can. If you would like brochures/business cards/fliers, please see me and I'd be happy to get you some.
The classroom space works efficiently and as far as the renovations go, there's nothing I wish we would have done differently. So thanks again to everyone who donated of their time, toys, talents, and treasures and to those who have prayed for this ministry.
And finally, because we are very close to needing more staff in the preschool, please give me a call or speak with me if you are interested in volunteering, submitting an application, or helping in that capacity.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
Miss Wendland
