Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center

GEAR UP FOR KINDERGARTEN is a program designed to help students who have never before attended school prepare and "GEAR UP" for life in kindergarten. The sole focus of this program is to help students build kindergarten routines ahead of time so they have a good foundation when kindergarten starts on August 12. We will focus on routines and social emotional learning to help your child gain confidence for their first-ever school experience. The "Gear Up for Kindergarten" dates are July 27-August 6 with there being no school on Fridays, and it will run from 8am-12pm. The eight-day program will include district busing for those who need it, and it will also include breakfast and lunch.

What an incredible way to wrap up the year! Last week, we officially closed the chapter on an amazing year with our Year-End Celebration. The Dierzen Dino energy was unmatched, the laughter was loud, and the epic confetti party is something we won't soon forget (seriously, we might still be finding confetti in our hair until next year!).
A massive thank you to everyone who brought their best energy, celebrated our wins, and made both the morning and afternoon confetti party so special!!!!

Any way you slice it, we have the best team around! 🍕 We had the absolute best time celebrating our incredible Office Ladies and the wonderful Nurse Anaida with a pizza-themed appreciation day. You all are the "secret sauce" that keeps us going, and we love you to pizzas! Thank you for ALL that you do for our school!

🍎 Our PTO is Simply the Best! 🍎
A massive THANK YOU to our incredible PTO for making Teacher Appreciation Week at Dierzen feel so special! 🦖✨

We are still buzzing from the "Farmers Market" theme this week. From the fresh vibes to all the thoughtful treats, you truly made our staff feel like the "best of the bunch." It is so clear how much heart and hard work went into every detail to nourish and celebrate our Dino team.

We are beyond lucky to have such a supportive community rooting for us. Thank you for growing the love! 🌽🌻🍓
