Dear Park’s Edge Preschool Families,

Love is in the air at Park’s Edge Preschool. The children have been very busy making Valentine’s Day cards for Emanuel Church Members, the Hales Corners Care Center and for our Veterans at Zablocki VA. My favorite part of making the cards is hearing all the love and appreciation the recipients have for the children’s artwork. One said “The card made my heart smile. It probably is the only card
I will get. It really means so much to me.” 

Friendly Reminder: Our 2026 tuition rates go into effect on Monday, February 9. We will have a table setup for vacation vouchers the week of February 9. If you have not turned in your paperwork yet, please drop it off at the front desk prior to receiving your vouchers.

Emanuel Church is hosting another fun Lego Master Night on Friday, February 20 at 6pm. This month’s theme is ‘Build your favorite book.’ It is a fun activity for the whole family, all are welcome! Sign up sheet is located at the front desk.

Thursday, February 12th we will have our annual Valentine’s Day Parade in Emanuel Church’s sanctuary at 10am. Please dress your child in pink, red, purple, white and/or hearts. All family members are welcome too. Please read the insert for more information about our Valentine’s Day celebration.

If there is a change to your child’s schedule (ex: sick, leaving early, bus change) please message us on ProCare and use the classroom chat so that the teachers see it immediately as well. If you have any questions for the office staff only, please use office chat.

Please mark your calendars, PEP has a Professional Half Day on Friday, March 6th. We will close at 12pm, lunch will be provided. All pm transportation will not be provided that day. We will have an afternoon of learning. We have WECA (Wisconsin Early Childhood Association) joining us virtually to share information on the TEACH Scholarship. Paychex will be here to meet individually with each staff member about their total reward package and financial planning. We will be going over the results of the NAC Survey that was completed in November to create trainings for 2026. The Culture Team will also be meeting to discuss our center goals for the staff/program. Thank you to all our families for making alternate arrangements for the afternoon so we can have all staff attend. 

Although the weather is still cold outside, we are excited to start planning for our Summer Program. Ms. Nicole, Ms. Melinda and Mr. Cody are gearing up for another fun-filled summer at PEP. We will have the summer packets ready to hand out the night of our Spring Fling, Thursday, March 19. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Sincerely,
Kristin Burr
