March Newsletter
Just wanted to thank everyone who made time for parent-teacher conferences. It is always nice to sit down and talk about what is going on and set goals for the future. Just like you we love talking about your children. They are very intriguing. If you still need to schedule a time please talk to one of the teachers and we will be happy to set up a time.
You may have notice a few sanitation changes in our center. We are trying to decrease the amount of germs in and out of the center to keep the children and their families healthier. As a result we are encouraging the children to establish a new habit of washing hands when entering the building in the morning and when leaving in the evening. If you could help by gently reminder your child to wash hands at these times that would be helpful. Thanks.
Ms. Michele will be babysitting once again on Friday March 12 from 7PM - Midnight. If you are interested sign-up by the parent board.
Mr. Russ has been playing his guitar and harmonica while we sing and dance. The kids really enjoy this time. His next visit is scheduled for Thursday, March 18.
The field trip for March has not yet been set. We will inform you as soon as it is finalized.
Links have been added to our website. There are some resources on social and emotional development in children. We have really focused on this area this year so these are articles to help parents continue their growth. Take some time to check out the links.
We have quite a list of improvements that we would like to make to the center. As a result we applied for a grant to help with the monetary costs of such improvements. The items that we are looking to improve in the next year are extending the sidewalk from the side to the porch and around the fence to make a track, improve playground equipment, install a stove with hood, install a sink in the butterfly room, purchase new table and chairs for infant/toddler room, and replace chairs in preschool. I know this sounds like a great deal but it doesn’t hurt to aim high:) We are having a fundraiser to help with a small portion of this cost. It is a catalog fundraiser so you can sell to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc. You know the ones whom you’ve purchased items from in the past:) It is completely optional but we would love as much participation as possible to help us reach our goals. The fundraiser packets will be available for pick-up on March 25th. There will be someone at school to answer any questions you may have about the fundraiser. The products in the catalog are mainly food items and candles. The top seller will recieve a free day of care!!!!
Also, we wanted to welcome our newest friend to our school family…Xavier. We are excited to have him! He will be with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Thank you to the “Stars” this month. Atom and Georden had a chance to display their photos and we loved talking about them. Too cool!
