Winterfest 2018

Our Winter Festival is a family-friendly, hands on event that everyone, young and old, can enjoy. This event was an opportunity for our teachers to demonstrate how MFWC approaches educating young children.  Teachers shared a variety of festive activities using everyday materials to illustrate how simple it can be to teach the important developmental skills not only at school but at home too.

Thank you to all who came out and participated and helped with our Festival and Scholastic Book Fair!

Cabarrus County Schools Preschool continued their journey with Conscious Discipline by sending some teachers to the 65th Annual NCAEYC conference. (NCAEYC promotes high-quality early learning for all children, birth through age 8, by connecting practice, policy, and research. We advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children.) Dr. Becky Bailey is the author of Conscious Discipline.

What is Conscious Discipline? An evidence-based, research-backed methodology and trauma-informed approach. It is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), and received high ratings in 8 of 10 categories in a Harvard analysis of the nation’s top 25 social-emotional learning programs. The Harvard study’s authors say, “Conscious Discipline provides an array of behavior management strategies and classroom structures that teachers can use to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities.”

Front Playground Construction

November 5th: “Wow! What an Exciting day! As we watched the excavator dig holes and Miss Sarah level them out and measure them, we asked Mr. Ray why they were digging holes and tearing up our playground. He told us they are putting up a sunshade! They will pour concrete in the holes and set the Big poles. Then once the concrete is dry and poles are set they will attach the long skinny poles to the top of the big poles and put a sun shade on top! Stay tuned and watch with us as our playground is transformed.

Program choice applications open on October 9th!
