  • You are your child’s first teacher

    During the month of December, listen to SunFM 98.5 Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings between 7:45 & 8:15 am or afternoons between 2:30 & 3:00 pm for great tips to help families enrich the preschool lives of their children.

  • Sometimes it is not about painting a picture that is important, it is often the process and experience!  In this case it was about the way the paint felt as it was squished between the fingers!

  • Because that is what bear eyes look like!

    A few children were at the art table; I had bear shaped paper, googly eyes markers, glue, and of course scissor!  I was very curious as to what I observed…the children were cutting googly eyes and saving the black circles inside!

  • After our turkey bone experiment, we decided to try water and vinegar with eggs!
    Once again each child made a guess as to what they thought would happen to the egg in water and egg in vinegar!?

  • “Science Rocks” at Duncan Cran Preschool

    Science is all around us!  Science is a fun and exciting way to experience, discover, wonder, question and understand the world around us…we ask questions, we make guesses and learn through hands-on experiences how thing work!


  • Sometimes we build intricate freeways….


  • I try to keep my circle time with some basic structure.. we start by singing the “Hickety Tickety Bumble Bee” name song. After that we do a small calendar portion and if the moons are aligned and I have all my fingers and toes crossed,
