First Lutheran 4K program is a voluntary, comprehensive child development program available to all four-year-old children whose birthday is on or before September 1.  First Lutheran 4K is a play-based program designed to nurture the social, emotional and early literacy and math skills of four-year-old children.  It does not take the place of kindergarten.  First Lutheran 4K is implemented using a community-collaborative model that builds on existing resources within our community.

My name is Heidi Fischer and I will be teaching First Lutheran’s 4-K class this fall!  I look forward to a fun year of playing, laughing and learning with my students.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from UW-La Crosse.  I also have minors in early childhood and adaptive education.  I taught Kindergarten for a year in Reedsburg before relocating to the Madison area to be closer to family and raise my own children.  I taught a year at Mary Linsimier Preschool and then Heart of Brooklyn Childcare for several years.  I have also taught preschool gymnastics at Brooklyn Gymnastics and Cheer for 3 years.

Check back soon for a link to my blog page!  This is an additional way to communicate with families of my students.  Feel free to invite grandparents or other relatives to see what we're doing in class.  My goal is to post a summary of our activities every day.
