Early Years

Welcome! We are very happy to work with all our students. We believe that our collaborative efforts will make each year successful, so we want to encourage you to be an active part of your child's education.

In Early Years, your child(ren) will have the following classes: Music, Art, P.E., Reading and Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Each class is equipped with a lead teacher and one or two teaching assistants.

We consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child(ren)'s teachers. You are always encouraged to email us when there are questions or concerns about your child(ren)'s progress. We will keep you informed by sending home their work on a weekly basis.  Please be sure to check their portfolios at the end of every week.

Should your child voice discomfort, become discouraged or fearful about school at any time, please communicate with us right away, so that together we can address and discover the cause of the problem. 

The rooms here at GIA are air conditioned. We strongly encourage that your child(ren) come to school with a sweater or jacket that can be worn in the class. In our classrooms we have lots of manipulatives, books, and play items for the students to use during their free time. To maximize learning opportunities with these resources while at school, we ask that toys be left at home where they will also remain safe and not get lost. On certain special occasions and dress-up days we will invite special items to come to school.

Sincerely,

Early Years Teachers
