COURSE TITLE
DIRECTOR’S GREETING
Cold weather and Winter have arrived. As we move into the next few
months, we feel a sense of normalcy as our programs are back and
operating as they were two years ago. Many of the opportunities have
bounced back and are better than ever. We owe this all to the members of
our community and staff as you all have stuck by our side and kept us going.
Community Education has not stopped and we will continue to strive forward.
Our Community Education staff have not taken a break and their dedication to
serving our community does not go unnoticed. It starts with our Early Learning staff to Kids Co, coordinators,
facilities, and CERC staff.
To our community, we thank you for your continued support in participation. Our CERC members, class
participants, Kids Co. families, preschool and ECFE families, active older adults, parent volunteers, and
partners are what makes Community Education what it is in Jordan. We strive to support our whole
community so all people have access to programming.
Community Education has always been and continues to be here for our community. Our Community is what
makes us strong. We honor the feedback and grow our programs to ensure all have access to high-quality
programming.
Thank You,
Steven Jensen
Director, Community Ed/Rec

CELEBRATE JORDAN EARLY LEARNING SERVICES
DIRECTOR’S GREETING
Jordan Public Schools offers early childhood education and preschool
opportunities for all families with children between the ages of birth
to age five. We recognize that families provide children’s first and most
important learning environments and parents are children’s first and most
significant teachers.
Our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) programs offer a variety of
services and activities to bring families together to share the joys and challenges
of parenthood and develop confidence in their own abilities. Our preschool programs ensure children enter
kindergarten with the skills and behaviors necessary to be successful in future learning.
Preschool is in full swing and our students are thoroughly enjoying their time together. The fall was filled
with learning the routines of school, getting to know each other and going on fun adventures. They
were able to learn all about the job of a firefighter and check out the fire station, explore the Luceline
Orchard, and trick or treat with the residents at Oak Terrace. We look forward to continuing the year and
providing our students and families with exceptional programming and opportunities. Our staff continues
to strengthen the school experience for students while improving their practice in a collaborative model
utilizing district staff development opportunities.
For general preschool or ECFE questions, please contact our ELS office at 952-492-3233.
Sincerely,
Jenna Wendorff
