Student Voices from Preschool on Poze

Preschool is where curiosity begins, and Preschool on Poze (PoP) is designed to help Mapleton’s youngest learners feel safe, joyful, and excited to learn. 

“I like playing with the toys and learning new things.” 
- Layla D., preschooler at Preschool on Poze 

PoP focuses on the whole child through play-based learning, early literacy, and social-emotional growth. Each day includes hands-on exploration and guided activities that help children build confidence, independence, and friendships as they prepare for kindergarten.

Achieve Academy Visits Preschool on Poze!

For the last two months, Achieve students have been studying birds and, for the final project of their unit, they wrote riddle books about their favorite ones. Students researched birds like penguins, hummingbirds, and bluejays using textbooks and an app, and then wrote and illustrated their books.

Achieve students visited Preschool on Poze to read their riddles and let preschoolers offer their best guesses as to what kind of bird they were describing.

Writing the books made the Achieve students even more invested in their unit and reading to the preschoolers was a good service project. As an Expeditionary Learning (EL) school, Achieve ensures that its students are active members of their community.

Waddup Party People

Ms. Ryan loves to check in on his crew DAILY! One of his favorite greetings to say is "Waddup party people?!" One of our team members found this adorable Bluey T-shirt & the word spread, so as a team we decided to surprise him with all of us showing up with this shirt, later gifting him one of his own. "We are crew" really shines through when we come together as a work family.
