Principal's Message

 

Welcome to Meadow Crest… a place where all children blossom!

At Meadow Crest Early Learning Center you will find a community of belonging where all honeybees are included, safe, and nurtured. Our staff are passionate about teaching and learning that helps each student build the foundational skills for kindergarten and lifelong learning. 

Our community is excited for the 2024-2025 school year to begin on September 4, 2024 for all preschool programs (ECEAP and Inclusive Preschool). Meadow Crest staff are planning and preparing for the upcoming school year. To begin a partnership with our families, teachers will be meeting individually with you between August 28th and September 3rd. Your child’s teacher will be contacting you soon to schedule your family engagement meeting. You and your child will come to Meadow Crest, see the classroom, and learn more about our school. This is also a time for you to ask questions and for your child’s teacher to learn more about your student and your family. We hope that you will find this to be a valuable time to build a relationship with your child’s teacher.  

You are a valued partner in your child’s education. We have many opportunities for family members to get involved, from volunteering around school, participating in our PTA or helping out with various events that occur throughout the school year. Make sure to ask your students’ teachers how you might get involved! Before volunteering, you will need to complete the volunteer approval process.

Your student will be provided meals while they are at school. Inclusive Preschool has a snack consisting of breakfast foods in the morning and a snack that consists of lunch foods in the afternoon. Morning Part Day ECEAP will have breakfast and lunch. Afternoon Part Day ECEAP will have lunch and a snack in the afternoon classes. School Day ECEAP will have breakfast, lunch, and a snack. During your family engagement meeting, we will be asking families to complete the Free and Reduced Lunch survey. The form for Meadow Crest is different from the form being used in K-12. This information is used to provide funding for a variety of programs, so we truly appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the form.

The only school supply they need is a backpack that is big enough for a folder and a change of clothes to fit in. 

Lastly, if your address or your plans for the year have changed, please let us know as soon as possible. For ECEAP, please call 425.204.2500 to inform us of changes. Call 425.204.2200 to update us for Inclusive Preschool students.

We are excited to partner with you throughout the school year!
