Hands On Learning

Consider this unknown quote: 

Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn.

This is the mantra of a play based preschool!  When given an opportunity to engage in hands-on activities, to manipulate objects, to consider a million different outcomes from the same materials a child's mind is opened immeasurably.  

Now, consider this from a very well known scholar, Aristotle:

'Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.'

Blessed are the children at La Casa that we care about teaching to the WHOLE CHILD. Their mind, body, and tender heart! 

Weekly Prayer.... Dear Jesus, I pray for the teachers who help me to learn so many things, but mostly about Your love. Watch over them that they will always help to guide me to You..  Amen.  

HAPPY EASTER....happy everything!

May the joy of being with your loved ones on this special weekend remain with you as we continue on to the end of the year.  You are all family to us and we, our entire staff, will hold close to the moments we are blessed to have shared.  We look forward to each and every moment, big and little,until the last days of school.  Do not miss any of the wonderful things we have planned for you and your children. 

Weekly Prayer.... Through Him, with Him, and in Him all glory to God in the highest.  Make Him the center of my being.  Amen. 

Word of the Lord

As a staff at La Casa Preschool, we feel very committed to teaching the precious children entrusted to our care.  We teach them many things that will help them to be life long learners.  Their skill sets emerge and become stronger each and every day.  It is amazing to watch their growth and transformation as they develop emotionally, socially, physically and cognitively.  Even more gratifying and important is the spiritual growth in these little beings.  Our philosophy and mission here at La Casa is rooted in the firm belief that it is OUR RIGHT, PRIVILEGE AND OBLIGATION to bring the word of the Lord to the children we are blessed with.  To facilitate Christian Education and the love of Jesus in their hearts is a challenge we take on with our whole heart!  No greater joy could there be than to help a child find their way to Jesus.  We are grateful for the privilege and embrace it. 

This Easter season, we remind your child of the great love God had for us through the miracle He performed in giving us Jesus.  It is a joyful time. We should rejoice in it!

Weekly Prayer.... Dear God, thank you for Your son, Jesus.  May His love shine through me in all I say and do.  Help me to be like Him in all things.  Amen.
