A Year of Special Events
Princeton Meadow Preschool offers many events throughout the year. These are designed to bring our wonderful families together as a community and to share in the children’s school experiences.
Fall
Meet the Teacher Open House/Parent Orientation
This event is designed to alleviate some of the stress that can come with the first day of school. Parents come to school with their children between designated hours to meet the teachers and explore the classrooms.
Parent Orientation will be held on the first day of school after all of the students are in their designated classrooms.
Field Trip to the Farm
In the past our 2 ½ and 3-year-olds have visited Lee Turkey Farm and our 4-year-olds have visited Windsor Farm. Picking a pumpkin is an exciting part of this trip!

International Day
Celebrating diversity is important to us at Princeton Meadow Preschool. We kick off International Day with a Parade of Flags representing the heritage of each student. We then come together for a delicious feast allowing us to sample the finest international cuisine! Each family brings a dish representing their culture to share.
