Thanksgiving
Wishing everyone a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
New Things Coming
Over the next 6 months my goal is to try to take more things electronic, such as Sign-In and Out, Children's Files (Authorizations, Child Info Sheets, etc.). So please be watching for this to take place. It may take a while for it to take place, but just giving everyone a little heads up.
New area - Parent Corner(Below)
Research has proven that parent's involvement in children's education at early ages benefits the child in the many ways. There are 6 areas parents can help with this process: Parenting, Communicating, Volunteering, Learning at Home, Decision Making, and Collaborating with Community. I for one understand that not everyone can do all 6 areas(life is busy), but doing the best you can is AWESOME! I have added a Parent Corner to the newsletter to help with resources and information for daycare here, please read over it every month as well. After all your family and I are the ones doing the educating from birth on up.
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.
