Halloween Party & Other Info
We will be having a small Halloween Party on Thursday, Oct 29.(I don't want to do it the same day as all the other school parties.)  If you would like to bring a treat please feel free to.  Please let me know what you will be bringing, so we don't have the same of everything.  Kids may either wear their costumes all day or may bring them to change into during the party.

Flu Season
Flu Season has approached us. I encourage all children to get this if they can. Please if you have any questions as to if your child should attend daycare please feel free to ask. I've got a list from the The Children's Hospital & CDC of different things as to when to keep your child home with you.  Just remember that a lot illnesses are contagious before symptoms appear.  Temperature over 100 degrees F is considered a fever according to the CDC.

Teaching Strategies Gold

I can't wait to sit with every family to go through your children's progresses. Let me know if you have a preference....first come, first serve.
