Lighthouse Preschool: Increase to teaching staff, employment opportunity and enrollment openings

Classes at Lighthouse Preschool begin Tuesday, September 6, 2011.   The Lighthouse Preschool Board is happy to announce that Teacher Amy Pauls will be returning for her 3rd year at Lighthouse Preschool and Teacher Autumn Hallock will be serving for her 2nd year; both are working with the 3 and 4 year old classes.

We are pleased to announce that Katie Chevalier is the newest addition to the teaching staff and will be working with the Toddler Group.  Katie comes to Lighthouse with Early Education studies under her belt, experience with early education programs during her time in Idaho and a tangible passion for working with young children.  In addition, she is a talented artist who will share her love and knowledge in this discipline with her students.

Currently there is an employment opportunity for a Toddler Group Teacher’s Aide.  The Preschool Board is seeking a mature, nurturing person with experience in the 2-3 year old age range.  Interested applicants should visit the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church Administration Office to pick up an application.  For questions, call 378-4544.  The church office is open Monday-Friday 9:00 am-1:00 pm and also on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30pm-3:30pm.

In compliance with the Washington State Early Education Standards, Lighthouse Preschool’s goal is to provide a safe, stimulating, and enriching environment that focuses on the development of the whole child. Our objective is to ensure each child has the necessary resources, knowledge and skills needed to bridge successfully into Kindergarten.  This year’s curriculum will include: Artist in Residence Program, Zoo Phonics, Character Development, Kid Safe, and High Scope Math and Science.

There are spaces available in all three classes on a first come, first serve basis.  Limited scholarship funds are also available for those who qualify.  Interested families should pick up enrollment applications at the Friday Harbor Presbyterian office as soon as possible to secure a space.
