Message From the Parkway Preschool Coordinator

Dear Preschool Families,

As we prepare to wrap up the 25/26 school year, I want to celebrate the joy, growth, and milestones your children have achieved. It has truly been an honor to walk alongside them in their learning journey.

From the excitement of the first day to the confidence we now see as they take on new challenges, your children have amazed us with their resilience and imagination. Whether through creative play, exploring nature, building friendships, or trying something new for the first time, each moment has helped shape their readiness for what lies ahead.

Thank you for sharing your children with us and for the many ways you’ve supported them and our preschool program. Your communication, participation, and encouragement have helped create the nurturing and collaborative environment we strive for in Parkway Early Childhood.

As we look to summer, we hope you’ll take time to rest, recharge, and play together. Summer is a wonderful opportunity to spark creativity through storytelling, outdoor adventures, art, music, and pretend play!

To the families moving on to kindergarten, congratulations! We are so proud of your children and confident they are ready for the adventures ahead. For those returning next year, we look forward to welcoming you back for more discovery and fun. Welcome emails with teacher assignments will be sent in mid-June.

We’ll be busy behind the scenes planning for another meaningful year and preparing to open our newest location—South Mason!

Lastly, I am incredibly grateful for your support. It is an honor to be part of this amazing preschool family.

Wishing you a fun and memory-filled summer!

With appreciation,
Dr. Heather Gehner
Preschool Coordinator
