Music

We enjoy Music time with Mrs. Baird, once a month for a half hour per class. While singing and engaging in music, we learn to regulate our body movement, improve language development, develop self-expression and enrich cognitive and memory skills.

Creative Movement

We provide Creative Movement classes with Mrs. Silk, once a month for a half hour per class. The children develop gross motor skills, improve body awareness and strengthen muscles while moving to music and participating in parachute games.

School-wide Events

We offer a variety of school-wide events that take place right at Westford Preschool. Some of these events include the following:

Class Holiday Parties – Children enjoy special snacks, donated by parents, to celebrate upcoming holidays.

Halloween Parade– Children wear their costumes and parade through our playground area for the parents.

Make-It Day – A day of creativity and Earth Day awareness, creating art using recycled materials.

Beach Day – A day of water play and games in our outdoor play areas.

Art Show– Every spring we host an art show with collections of artwork that the children created throughout the year.  It’s such a special evening…a DO NOT MISS event for sure! The children beam with pride as they tour the classes searching for their pieces to show their families!!

Graduation Day– On the last day of school for your classroom, parents and families gather in Williams Hall (upstairs at St. Mark’s) for a special performance by your children.  They sing a few songs, recite a poem and receive a certificate of completion. Then we gather at the playground for an ice cream and social time with classmates. MARK YOUR CALENDAR for this event!

Field Trips

We offer both In-House and Bus Field Trips. For our In-House field trips we bring in special performers or programs to enrich our own curriculum. These could include a visit from the fire department, puppeteers, story-tellers, owl demonstrations, animal farms, musicians and more! Once yearly, we take a bus field trip to a local site.
