Celebrating Our First Six Weeks of Preschool!

What an amazing start to our school year! During our first six weeks, our preschoolers have been busy building friendships, learning classroom routines, and practicing what it means to be kind, safe, helpful, and a SUPER FRIEND!

We are excited to share this special video featuring our students as they reflect on their learning and share what it means to be a super friend! It’s wonderful to hear their voices and see how much they have learned and grown during these first six weeks!

As we return from fall break, our classrooms will begin exciting new investigations. Students will dive into the Trees Study or the Tubes and Tunnels Study (Vallejo), exploring new questions, making discoveries, and learning through hands-on experiences.

We can’t wait to see where their curiosity takes them next!

Thank you, families, for being part of our learning journey!

Ms. Hill is our September Employee of the Month, as recognized by the Rock Island Regional Office of Education (RIROE). Ms. Hill is our school secretary here at the East Moline Early Learning Center, and is recognized for her dedication and work ethic over the summer months. While the school halls were quiet, she was working countless extra hours behind the scenes—managing registration, organizing schedules, and ensuring that all the logistical details were in place before our doors opened. Her ability to navigate stressful preparations with patience, efficiency, and a welcoming smile ensured that our students, families, and staff walked into a seamlessly organized environment on the first day back from summer break. Her patience and friendly face set the tone in our main office, and her summer efforts have given us a jumpstart for a successful school year at ELC! Thank you for being an important part of our School Family, Ms. Lindsay! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY
