Preschool Starts Tomorrow for Brooklynn

Brooklynn starts preschool tomorrow at Traverse City Cooperative Preschool. TCCP has a play-based curriculum which we wanted for Brooklynn. We mostly picked the preschool based on the teacher so we were shocked and upset when she announced her retirement. I looked back at the local preschools again and realized that TCCP was still our first choice of preschools. Their philosophy is based on the belief that parents play an integral role in their child’s educational experience...me too!!



TCCP was great about getting Brooklynn ready to attend preschool. They had two open houses. At the second one the teacher put on a puppet show for the kids and they served snacks. Its hard to see Brooklynn in this picture but she is snuggled up with Clifford on the right.

TCCP also put on an ice cream social so the kids could meet their class mates...Brooklynn is in the Tuesday Thursday morning class with 15 other 3 year olds. While at the ice cream social Brooklynns teacher Mrs. Callighan put on another puppet show, gave them a queen puppet and the kids enjoyed Moomers ice cream and played on the playground.

Brooklynn also got to do a one-on-one meet your teacher conference with Mrs. Callighan.  Mrs. Callighan introduced herself, let Brooklynn pick out a cubbie and name tag and showed her around the classroom.

We heard from many other parents that love TCCP. So far our experience has exceeded all our expectations. Brooklynn is very excited about tomorrow.
