🦄 Welcome to Unicorns and Rainbows Preschool Circle Time! 

Let's go to Rainbow Island and meet some new friends! Join Princess Rainbow and me for lots of unicorn fun as we learn our ABCs and more. Each class will be set up as an engaging storyline where we will meet different characters, help them solve problems, and learn new concepts each time.
We will meet once a week to learn pre-literacy skills such as letter recognition, colors, feelings, and counting. We will learn about the Letters of the Day and identify words that begin with the Letters of the Day. We will sing songs, listen to stories, and do a creative, hands-on activity or craft at the end of each class. 

This ongoing class is great for children preparing to start preschool or a fun way to review preschool concepts such as letter recognition before starting kindergarten.

*This ongoing course runs for 21 weeks, and then starts over again with the material repeating. 
**All materials to print will be sent individually to each enrolled learner the day before or the day of class. If you are able to, please print the PDF files before class and bring crayons or markers as well as any craft supplies listed in the description for that week. We'll be using washable paint during arts and crafts time, so make sure to have an art smock or painting clothes available for your child as well! 
Your child is also welcome to bring a favorite unicorn, princess, or stuffed animal friend to class for show and tell if you would like! 
***Please note, as this class includes an arts and crafts time, we may go longer than 40 minutes depending on how long it takes to make the arts and crafts project. You are welcome to leave at 40 minutes if you need to, but are also welcome to stay longer to finish your craft project.
