Principal's Message
Dear Skylark Families and Community,
It is with great excitement that I welcome you to Skylark Preschool where every child’s learning journey begins with curiosity, care, and community.
As the new principal and a proud mother of two young children, I deeply understand the importance of early childhood education in shaping a child’s future. With 18 years of experience in education as a teacher, mentor for new educators, district administrator, and assistant principal, I’m honored to join this foundational stage of learning and share in the wonder, growth, and discovery of these early years.
At Skylark Preschool, we are proud to serve a diverse community of learners through a range of programs designed to meet the unique needs of our families. Our offerings include:
- Full-Day, Fee-Based Program
- AM or PM Half-Day, State Preschool Program
- Special Education Preschool Classes
We also offer a fee-based preschool program at Enders Elementary School. In addition, we are fortunate to partner with the Boys and Girls Club, located on our campus, which provides before and after school care for Skylark students and a preschool program for children ages 2 to 5 who are not eligible for Garden Grove Unified School District preschool services.
As a proud GGUSD homegrown, I feel deeply connected to the community that shaped my own educational journey. I believe that every child has the potential to excel. At Skylark, we are committed to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and engaging space where all children feel seen, valued, and inspired to grow.
Whether this is your first time at Skylark or you’re returning, I look forward to working with you to create a joyful and memorable year for your child.
Warmly,
Esther Atherton
Principal, Skylark Preschool
Garden Grove Unified School District
