Who we are

The Preschool Mother's Club of St. Luke was founded to provide mothers of preschool age children (birth to 5 years) a way to get acquainted, build support networks, and strengthen themselves and their children socially, intellectually, and spiritually.  In doing so, they would be able to provide a nurturing and positive environment for their children... and we've done just that! PSMC sponsors a wide-variety of events and activities that help parents and preschooler grow and learn. Our Club is run entirely by volunteer parents who give their time to make PSMC such a  great success. 
Our Officers for 2007-2008 are:
President, Doreen Waguespack, 643-5118

Vice President, Sarah Riehl, 661-1672 

Secretary, Lynel Vidrine, 649-9694

Membership

 
Membership is NOT required in order to attend playgroups.
Membership to PSMC is open to all  parents, grandparents  and guardians of children between the ages of 0 and 5, and   IS NOT limited to parishioners of St. Luke, unless they plan on holding  office  at any point as president or vice-president. There are all sorts   of events, field trips, and parties that make being a member of  PSMC a great idea.  The cost for a yearly membership is $30, regardless of the number of preschool children in your family! Parties are held only for members that include fun games, prizes, and food. Members also have the added benefit of bringing guests to regular meetings and family events, although children of guests cannot attend  monthly parties.
Associate memberships are also available. These are for mothers/guardians who will not be attending the monthly parties, or whose youngest child is older than 5 years, but would still like to participate in activities like field trips. The cost for associate memberships is $12.50  annually.

Playgroup

 
PSMC sponsors a great playgroup for preschoolers throughout the school year!  The play date begins  with  free play - sharing toys and making beautiful things out of playdough. Then, it's time to sing songs and finger play. Our members take turns bringing a snack and juice which the children really enjoy! When we're all done with snack,  it's  time to make a craft. As you can see, there's  lots of fun and learning to be had!

Our playgroups are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at St. Luke, Room 1 from September to May.

Playschool

 
PSMC sponsors a wonderful playschool for children from 3 to 5 years. It offers a happy, informal environment where preschoolers can learn what being in school is like for an hour and  a  half,  once a week. There's learning to count, recognizing letters, snack and story  time,  too! And always neat things to make, see, and do! Playschool is run entirely   by parent volunteers.  Generally, there is a three year old class on Thursdays and a four year  old  class on Fridays. The cost is $30 a year to cover needed materials. Children   should be 3 years of age by October 1, 2006. You must be a member of PSMC to participate in Playschool.
