Carrie Gosch Pre-K Early Learning Center

Dear Families,

     I would like to welcome you to the Carrie Gosch Early Learning Center.  Our school houses all of the PreK teachers, para professionals and Pre-School aged students in the SCEC district.  We prepare our students to leave us with a strong foundation upon which they will build their lives.

     Our staff believes that pre-school aged students benefit from social-emotional development as well as acquisition of academic skills.  The philosophy we share is that the Carrie Gosch ELC provides a safe and inviting learning environment that promotes a well-balanced academic and social foundation for all learners.  We strive to make our philosophy a reality by offering play-based and skill-based instruction.  Lessons are provided in the subject areas of math, science, literacy, gross motor, social studies, health, creative arts, writing and technology.  Our highly qualified staff use small group lessons, large group lessons and field experiences , in our community to, support student learning.

     It is our strong desire to develop an unbreakable partnership with you so that together we may advance our students and their learning.  Now as we welcome you to the Carrie Gosch ELC, we wish you a wonderful school year.  We have many exciting events in store and we look forward to getting ideas from you about how we can work together to teacher our children.

     Classes will resume on Monday, August 13, 2018.  Our sessions are held from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM.  The staff and I have been working and preparing for this upcoming school year over the summer months.  We are looking forward to an exciting new year.  Our building has two new areas that have been added to our center.  The STEM room was developed in partnership, by the Children's Museum in Chicago.  We are also developing a meeting place for parents to network and gather.  This place is called the Parent Cafe.   The Parent Cafe will host a 'soft' opening during our Open House on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 from 2:30 PM until 4:00 PM.  Parents are invited to join us to meet in the classrooms and get information concerning our program.

     Our school has an open door policy.  If ever you have a question or concern, please contact us at (219) 391-4172.  We would be happy to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Mrs. E. Glenn
