Dear Parents and Friends,

I am thrilled to welcome you to Saint Paul Parish School’s Pre-school and Pre-K!  I am eager and am excited about all the learning and fun that will happen in our program this year!

There are so many things I want for the children in my class: to know that they are special to God, their parents and the Saint Paul community! To use the gifts God has given them to develop self-confidence, enthusiasm for school, basic math concepts, use of more descriptive language and improved fine motor control. We will all learn to work and grow together given time and encouragement. I believe in creating an environment for my students that is positive, safe, creative and fun and that children learn best in an atmosphere of comfort and where they feel successful.

I have been teaching early childhood education for 16 years and I love it! My style of teaching is a multi-sensory approach where children are actively engaged in the learning process. I believe that the classroom setting is part of the curriculum and work hard to change and update centers during the year. I also feel privileged to be an extension of the family by setting the foundation for Catholic learning with a curriculum that is centered on Catholic values and the liturgical calendar and providing a atmosphere of what is sacred.

I am so excited about this school year and look forward to meeting you!

Peace In Christ,

Mrs. Laurie Zerzan
