School is quickly arriving right on schedule as usual.  We, the staff of Hillside Christian Preschool, are looking forward to getting acquainted and working with your child and family as we begin our journey of adventures in learning.  We have 2 classes of 3-year olds, a 3-day class for 4 year olds and 4 Pre-K classes.

The first day of school will be Monday, September 13th for all 3-day & 5-day classes.  For our 2-day classes, the first day of school will be Thursday, September 16th.  Our AM classes will be starting at 9:20 and ending at 11:50.  Our PM classes will be starting at 12:30 and ending at 3:00pm. 

The congregation of Marysville Free Methodist Church, as well as the staff, are eagerly awaiting the church’s halls to resound with the laughter of children anxiously waiting for their classroom doors to open.  We have another exciting year planned for all to enjoy.  Enjoy the last few days of summer while we finish getting ready for September and the start of Hillside Christian Preschool.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

In His service,

Sandy Anderson
