News
With school in full swing this week, Plymouth is full of the bustle of children learning and playing. Our specialist teachers in music and movement, art, and library began working with the children and I look forward to enjoying their collaborations whether it be a painting, sculpture, dance, song or a great story.
Family Handbook
Early Bird
Early Bird begins on Monday, September 23rd. Let us know if you are interested in joining and we can send you the registration link. This year we are offering single day drop-ins that you can use as needed.
Children may be dropped off each morning between 8:30am and 9:00am either in the gym or the playground. The children will have the opportunity to play and socialize under the supervision of Plymouth teachers. At 9:00am, your child’s classroom teacher will pick them up and bring them to class.
Families with children in our Pineapple and Orange Rooms may be eligible to participate in Early Bird. Please get in touch with Adrienne to discuss your child’s possible participation.
Parent Talk with Kate Wechsler
Come meet Kate Wechsler, LCW, our wonderful Psychological Consultant, on Friday, September 27th at 9:15am and learn some of Kate’s favorite tried and true parenting tips.
Kate has been working with Plymouth for over 25 years and families have found her practical advice and thoughtful insights so helpful as they tackle the conundrums of parenting. Beginning in October, Plymouth will be hosting monthly office hours with Kate which provide an opportunity for you to meet individually with her to talk about issues and concerns and get support. These meetings will be on Zoom. We will send information on how to sign up for a meeting in the next few weeks.
Big Green Room Open House
On Wednesday, October 16th at 6:00pm we are having an Open House for families in our 4s to learn all about the BGR. We encourage you to come and meet the teaching team, see the beautiful classroom and learn about the rich literacy and math curriculum we have developed for our fives.
Often, the best choice for a child is to stay at Plymouth for another year. Our fives program is what I like to call “joyfully academic.” We balance rigorous academic skill building with plentiful opportunities to play in an open-ended manner. Children also gain important leadership skills in their role as our oldest students.
Open House
We are hosting an Open House for prospective families on Saturday, October 19th from
10:00am -12:00pm. Please spread the word to your friends in the community. Children are welcome.
