Little Artists Class

Every Friday(on the CUSD school calendar) I will be giving a creative arts class for preschool age students. This class will give them an opportunity to learn about different mediums, artists, colors, shapes, and all while socializing and learning.
Class will be held from 12-3pm and at the Bohn residence.

For parents that are already enrolled in my Preschool class the tuition for this class is discounted to only $6.25 per 3 hour class. Total monthly preschool tuition plus Little Artists would be $200 per month.
For anyone interested in doing just the Little Artists Class on Fridays the tuition cost is $50 per month or $12.50 per 3 hour class.
If you would like to enroll your little artist in my class let me know! :)

Fall 2010

Hello Parents!

Here is a brief post with some preschool information!

I will be teaching a 4 year old private Preschool class beginning this Fall.
I will cap the class at 8 students.
I'll be starting off the school year a bit late but I will follow the CUSD calendar for the remainder of the year.
Class begins on Tuesday, September 7, 2010.
It's 3 days a week and 3 hours a day.
We will meet Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Tuesday and Thursday class will be from 12-3pm.
On Wednesday class will be from 10:30-1:30pm due to CUSD early release schedule.
We have snack time everyday and students are required to bring a backpack with a folder inside and their snack everyday (and a full lunch on Wednesdays due to the schedule).
Tuition is $175 per month. That includes all supply fees. That breaks down to approximately $14.50 per day and includes all prep work and supplies.(Total class days 2010-2011 is 108) There is No tuition due in June.
Tuition is due the first Tuesday of the month and I accept cash or check made out to Ashley DeWitt.
I am flexible with parents that are considering only 1 or 2 days per week instead of the full 3 days.
Class is held at the Bohn Residence across the street from Rail Road Park in Clovis, near Buchanan High School. I am happy to send a private email with the address to those that need it.
I am rarely absent but in the event that I will not be there to teach the class I will find a qualified substitute teacher.
I also plan to keep this preschool blog updated with photos and a monthly newsletter to parents.

Prerequisites:
Students must be Potty-Trained (we take frequent breaks and they will be reminded to use the potty often)
This class will be for students that will be attending Kindergarten in Fall of 2011.

A little about me:
This will be my 3rd year doing a private preschool. I absolutely love teaching! I teach Pre-K essentials and prepare students for Kindergarten. My mother, Shirley Hales, has been my mentor. She taught Kindergarten in Clovis Unified for over 10 years and now teaches 3rd Grade. She aided me in creating my own unique preschool curriculum. Students will learn colors, numbers, letters, sounds, shapes, writing and be encouraged through art, music, and positive reinforcement. As far as discipline goes, I use the "Super Nanny technique". Basically, time-outs when necessary and positive reinforcement.
I have been married for 3 years to my sweet husband, Tyson and I am currently working toward a Bachelors Degree in Art with a minor in Child Development.
