Meet Your Teacher:
Ms. Angelique!
Hi! I'm Ms Angelique, and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher. I’m a mom of 3 kiddos, have an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development, a Bachelor's degree in Human Services, and have taught preschool for 7 years! I love watching children explore, create, and learn something new.
I am very grateful for each family that trusts me with their child's care and education. I have built lasting relationships with each child and enjoy seeing each of them grow.
And I can't wait to teach your child!
Top 10 Reasons You'll Love Us
Here's what we are all about!
#1: We’re a Family!
I want to get to know your family, so please invite your whole family to attend our family events all year long: Meet ‘n Greet, Halloween Boo Bash, Thanksgiving Potluck, Christmas Party & Jingle Jam, and Easter Egg Hunt. You are always welcome to volunteer in our classroom and/or at any of our events.
#2: I Care About You!
I pride myself on open communication and have several ways to to do this including a parent portal, private Facebook group, and Class Dojo.
#3: Your Child will Make Close Friends!
Small classes of just 8 children allows your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and myself. Because conflict-resolution skills are super vital to learn at this age, I help your child work through their problems with other children. Pretty soon they’re using the same strategies and words they've learned in school.
#4: Your child will be more than ready for Kinder!
Your child will receive individualized instruction through our thorough assessments and curriculum. I will guide your child in the areas they need to improve, and challenge them when they’re ready for more. There's a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities follows the NAEYC guidelines to strengthen your whole child’s development: Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical.
#5: Your child will stay healthy
& safe!
Teaching children is a huge responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously! Not only am I state licensed and CPR/1st Aid Certified, but the distinct policies and procedures regarding health and safety help to keep your child in a safe, clean environment. We are constantly cleaning, washing hands, and monitoring all activities to prevent any accidents.
#6: Your child will love preschool!
I'll help your child come out of his/her shell, gain self confidence, and grow in all areas of development. I'm excited to help your child grow and learn!
Most of the kiddos that attend have never been in a child care program before and have had gr4eat success in my home environment.
#7: All of our field trips events
are free!
To extend our learning we go on several field trips each year, and you get to join your child on them. We’ve gone to places like: the Aquarium, Pumpkin Patch, Robinson's Ranch, the firestation, and more!
We’ll also celebrate your child’s birthday in school and we have many family events in which we would love to have you attend.
#8: Your child gets a shirt and end of year book!
Each year, your child will receive a different
t-shirt for that school year to wear on Spirit days and field trips. You will also receive a book of photgraphs so that your child can remember their time at school.
#9: We offer more than just a program.
I offer you the opportunity to enrich your preschool experience by enjoying book orders, school pictures, filed trips, family events, and a Pre-K graduation.
#10: Pre-K students celebrate with graduation!
Bring your entire family to our yearly graduation where we celebrate your child's accomplishments in a big way! ! Your child will graduate at the end of year before heading to Kindergarten, so be sure to bring your entire family for a family experience!
Why a graduation? It's part of Oklahoma's promise to make transitions of any kind, positive for every child. What a better way than a fun party celebrating their hard work!

When does preschool start? Can I enroll mid-year? Yes, call to see if there is availabilty. 918-890-2151
We have a 10-month school year (Aug.-May) and a 2-month summer camp (June-July). If we have spots available, you can enroll mid-year. Please call us to see if we have any spots available.
How old does my child need to be to attend? Children who are potty trained may be enrolled.
Preschool classes are for children who are ages 3-5 (and "independent almost-3-year-olds") by Sep. 1. Summer camp is for children who are ages 3-8 by June 1.
Does my child need to be potty trained? Yes, children need to be potty trained. I do understand accidents happen so make sure to have extra clothes in their cubby. What does this mean? They should be able to use the restroom wiht little to no help. Newly potty trained kiddos are fine but if your kiddo is in diapers, this program would not be a good fit.If your child isn't quite there yet, i can send you some information to help move the process along.
We follow a “whole child” philosophy where we work with you to improve your child’s Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical skills. Our curriculum is based on the NAEYC guidelines and features a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities to accomplish these goals. We also incorporate Fundamentals Preschool Curriculum. Your child will learn to socialize, make friends, develop social and emotional skills, and be more than ready for Kindergarten!
Are there additional fees during the year? Registration and tuition cover all supplies , learning materials, and field trips for your child. It also includes a spirit shirt and end of year book.
No. Your registration fee covers all your child’s supplies and reserves a spot in our program. Your child won’t pay anything to attend our field trips and activities. And your family can come for free too! Your child will also receive at no extra cost: a preschool shirt to wear on Spirit Day and a graduation portfolio!
What if my child has food restrictions? I provide 2 snacks and a lunch for full day preschool, however, if your child has special dietary needs/preferences you will need to provide their meals & snacks for the day. I am able to heat up lunches and keep them cold.
No worries. Several of our students have food intolerances or severe allergies. We ask these families to bring in their own snacks, and we create nut-free classrooms any time a child’s allergy is severe enough to require an epi pen.
Is the registration fee refundable? The registration fee holds your child's spot for the upcoming school year or camp session and is non-refundable. Should 2 weeks pass and there is no communication from you after each session starts, your spot will be forfeited.
No.
How many students do you have per class? The maximum number of children in each class is 8.
We have the smallest class sizes in town so your child gets lots of 1-on-1 time. We only have 10 students per class.
Is tuition due monthly? Tuition is due monthly on the 1st, however, if you need another option, let us know.
