The holidays are coming - are you ready?

When considering holiday shopping for young children, it is tempting to gravitate to electronic games and devices; however, non-electronic materials are more likely to promote creativity and problem solving skills - and also occupy your child for longer periods of time. Electronic toys have been demonstrated to have a negative impact on social interaction and to contribute to problems with focused attention.  Open-ended materials allow children multiple ways to creative - good choices include building sets, art supplies, books, and puzzles.

Tiger Tot Spirit Shirt Sale Update


Thank you for your support of the Preschool PAC’s t-shirt fundraiser! We can’t wait to see the close to 75 Tigers sporting their new shirts and onesies when they arrive!

One update to our families who ordered the two-colored onesie option. Between the time we created the designs to ordering, available stock of the two-colored onesies has diminished! Now we have to order the solid purple onesie, pictured below, rather than the two-toned purple/lavender one that was shown in the newsletter and on the yard signs. The design will still be the same. 

We are sorry for the change! If you no longer want to order the onesie, please contact pac@lsu.edu and we will refund your $12.

Teacher of the Month -  Autumn Smith

I believe that the most significant role of the teacher is to provide each student with the tools and techniques needed in order to become critical thinkers and effective agents of change within their society. Every single student is capable of positively influencing the world and with the development of analysis and problem-solving skills, the expansion of their global awareness, and the acquisition of a cooperative, inquiring attitude, students can achieve this goal and thrive beyond the classroom. Society cannot progress without the presence of well-educated, self-motivated individuals equipped with the research skills and the desire to better humanity needed to facilitate change.
We are fortunate to have Autumn as part of the ECELP team!
