    • Preschool - Building Blocks 4's
    • School Year 24-25
    Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year is Open Regular Hours of Operation School Day - 8:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m. Extended Day - 6:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. About us Gilbert Public Schools is proud to offer Building Blocks Preschool, a full day preschool program that allows your 3, 4, or young 5-year-old firsthand experiences of what it means to be a student. Our uniquely designed curriculum, based on the AZ Early Childhood Standards, helps create a foundation for your young student to build upon as they move towards their school career. By constructing curriculum containing a more challenging approach to the same subjects included in our 3’s program, our 4 and young 5-year-olds continue to master letters, numbers, colors, the calendar, writing their names, addresses, phone numbers, and begin preparation for reading readiness. Socialization and opportunities to build friendships are encouraged throughout our before and after-school day schedule. Upon completion of the Building Blocks program, our students have the foundation in place to enter kindergarten with the tools, experiences, and passion for learning, that helps to ensure academic success now and well into the future. Children must be 4 years old by August 31st and independently toilet trained. To be considered completely independent in toileting, a child must be able to do ALL of the following: Are able to communicate the need to go to the toilet; including but not limited to, demonstrating control over going if they must wait for someone who is in the bathroom or if away from the bathroom Can independently pull down their underwear and pants and pull them back up when done. This includes clothing with belts, buttons, zippers etc., if worn to school Can independently clean their bottoms after using the toilet Get on and off the toilet by themselves Wash and dry their hands by themselves Disposable training pants (i.e. Pull-ups) are not permitted per AZDHS Licensing Building Blocks will provide a full healthy breakfast for those families choosing the extended day option. Family style snacks will be provided to all students. Building Blocks’ students will be eating in the school cafeteria. Although lunch will not be provided, the student will be enrolled in the school lunch program so they may purchase a hot lunch. All programs are licensed by Arizona Department of Health Services. Staff will participate in a minimum of 18 hours of professional development each school year. The Building Blocks Program is a Monthly Tuition Program. The cost is based on the days selected for the entire school year, then broken down into 10 equal monthly payments. Three Schedules are available for parents to select during the registration process - Full Time Monday - Friday, Part Time 3 Days per week - Monday, Wednesday & Friday or Part Time 2 Days per week - Tuesday & Thursday. Parents must commit to a schedule and maintain it throughout the entire school year. Building Blocks Curriculum We believe academics and social development are intertwined, and that curriculum is a living, growing aspect of preschool. We have a commitment to each school’s design and firmly believe that this commitment is crucial to our students’ success. We begin by understanding that every student is different. We focus on using each student’s strengths to build upon those areas that need developing. Learning is applied through academics and exploratory play. These activities can be child-directed or teacher directed. With a fluid schedule, teachers are then able to assess transitions and begin to build a foundation tailored to each individual student. AZ Early Learning Standards is the framework to our curriculum, and it is annually accessed to ensure best practices. The Building Blocks’ module is influenced by kindergarten standards and is collaborative with kindergarten teachers. Fundations and sight words are introduced through 4 small-sided learning centers and 3 large group centers based on weekly themes with built-in “Brain Breaks” between learning centers. “Brain Breaks” are equally important both inside and outside of the classroom with opportunities for PE, Library, Music, Art, etc. Building Blocks passionately encourages school involvement through fun runs, assemblies, school pictures, spirit weeks, and other fun site-specific activities.

  • Kindergarten Early Entrance Screening

    Registration opens on March 25th and will close on June 6th for the 2024-2025 School Year. Dates of Screenings are June 11th, June 12th, and June 13th. For admission to kindergarten, a child must be five years of age prior to September 1 of the current school year. A child who turns five between September 1 and December 31 of the current school year will be assessed to determine readiness in order to qualify for early entrance into kindergarten. Kindergarten screenings will be held in June ONLY. Screenings for early entrance will not take place after these sessions. Registrations for screening must be completed online; a non-refundable $90 assessment fee will be collected at that time. Once registration is completed, confirmation will be sent via email indicating the date, appointment time, and location for the child’s screening. Results will be given after the completion of the screening. Early entrance screenings measure a child’s social and academic ability, predicting their success in kindergarten. The social screening takes place in a group setting, while the academic readiness assessment is individually administered in a computer lab with support and guidance from a certified teacher. The social screening and the academic readiness assessment will be analyzed, and a decision will be made regarding the child’s readiness. This decision regarding initial placement is final with no appeal process, and children will not be rescreened. If within the first 30 school days, there is a concern regarding whether an early placement is appropriate for your child, a campus team may be convened to reconsider this decision.
