March Newsletter

***Please see the change in school times below***


St. Patty's Day

March 17, we will be looking for our lucky leprechaun friend during the day. Kiddos will be encouraged to wear green.

NEW....Show-And-Share
New this year....all the kids are always so excited to show their friends their toys. So I am asking each kiddo to bring ONE toy to share with everyone on FRIDAY'S ONLYThis is a great way for the kids to share what they are interested in and be able to learn to share the things they enjoy.

Please bring the toy in a bag, labeled with their name. Since we are going to have a specific day to bring a toy, I am asking for toys to stay at home all other days.

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. This is still a work in progress.

Summer Fun
Please start thinking about your plans for the summer for your chilren. More information to come next month.

Flu Season
Flu Season has approached us. I encourage ALL children to get the Flu Shot 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

The 2nd assessment period went by very quickly and very well. I am looking forward to the next conference, which is scheduled for May 23, 2016. So please everyone plan to attend this date, times will be announced next month.

School Pick-up & Drop-offs
This year I am continuing to take kids to school, but I have added a school pickup.  We will leave the house at 8:30am at the very latest & will return around 9:00ish.  In the afternoons we will leave the house about 3:00pm at the very latest & will return around 4:00pm.
