School Events

The Hobbitts curriculum is enhanced by providing the children with opportunities to step out of the classroom into the community, and  inviting the community into Hobbitts.  Children might not ordinarily have the chance to take a ride on a hay wagon or jump on a trampoline.  The world is opened up to them as community workers enter Hobbitts.  The importance of family is also recognized by honoring our mothers and our fathers during special events.

 
Field Trips and Events

• Hobbitts offers a number of off-site field trips.  Trips to Luther Farm, Hillside Orchard, Gymnastics World, and Virginia Kendall Park are just a few of the many field trips that the children will enjoy.
• In addition to off-site field trips, Hobbitts offers many on-site events.  Special visitors such as the police and fire departments, the Richfield librarian, and a dentist pay us a visit every year.  The Bubble Lady, Outback Ray, the Illusion Factory, and Lake Erie Puppet Theater have also visited Hobbitts Preschool.

 
Classroom Specials

• Children will enjoy holiday parties, the Hobbitts Winter Carnival, and the end-of-the-year picnic at the Brecksville Community Center’s playground.  A Father’s Day event as well as a Mother’s Day Tea are favorite occasions at the Hobbitts Preschool.

Conferences

• Before the school year begins children and parents will have the opportunity to visit with the teacher.  This is a wonderful time for the child to get to know the teacher, the surroundings, and what he/she might expect when coming to school for the first time.  The parents will have a chance to spend some time talking with the teacher about their child and have questions answered about the program.
• In January teachers will evaluate the children’s progress.  Parents will then meet with the teacher for a midyear conference.  Parents can always feel free to call or meet with the teacher throughout the year if they have any concerns about their child.
