Hello Parents,
Happy Fall & October!! It’s hard to believe that Fall is
here. School is in full swing and we are really getting into
routines and adjusting nicely. The beginning of a school year is
such a busy time: the children are getting used to a new
routine, meeting new friends and separating from home. All
the children have been doing awesome.
We will be having our Fall Festival October 26th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and hope to see everyone there.
There will be Fall parties, special activities and many other exciting things coming up. Please join us for Fall fun.
Now that the weather is changing please remember to bring a light jacket and change all
Summer clothes to Fall clothes. We want all children to be prepared for outdoor fun and
learning
The Haymarket Day Parade will be held the 20th of October. If you are interested in joining us, please sign
up at the front desk. We would love to have some of our family’s walk the parade and support Haymarket
Children’s Academy.
Regards,
Crystal Bussiere
Preschool Director

Welcome to
Haymarket Children’s
Academy Literacy
Based Leadership
Program
We started the year off right with our INSPIRED Program as the children work on our SOCIAL literacy during the
month of September.
This program supports our curriculum and play based learning.
This program is designed to help INSPIRE the children to be good citizens, to problem solve and find solutions and to give them
the tools to reach their fullest potential.
What Is INSPIRED?
It is a curriculum that consists of 6 literacies – areas of study – Social Literacy, Health Literacy, Environmental Literacy, Civic
Literacy, Entrepreneurial Literacy, and Financial Literacy
1. Within each literacy, students will begin by understanding h ow the literacy pertains to themselves and to others.
(Self and Others)
2. The lessons will expand to incorporate relationships with families, friends and teachers (Home and School)
3. Lastly the lessons will broaden to the community and world relationships (Community)
Realistic applications of the literacies are an important part of the program. The children will listen to a short story for each
literacy and explore the real-world applications in each lesson.
How will small children understand these literacies?
Simple language is the key. The language will become more mature as they grow into each age group. Here are some example
for how we describe the values we are teaching at each stage.
LITERACY TAUGHT TO ALL CLASSES PRESCHOOL & YOUNGER PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN
SOCIAL I am a friend. I forgive others. I openly list to the ideas of others.
HEALTH I take care of myself. I make healthy choices. I choose how I behave.
ENVIRONMENTAL I am a helper. I am kind to the world around me.
I protect & care for the earth.
CIVIC I work well with others. I tell the truth. I do the right thing all the time! I love my country!
ENTREPRENURIAL I can wait for what I want. I can do it. I take chances to meet a new goal.
FINANCIAL I take care of my things. I give to others. I set goals for things I want.
Your teachers are happy to share with you how this program integrates with your child’s day. We are excited to take this
journey with you and your child, and we look forward to our continued partnership in raising tomorrow’s leaders!
