Our Halloween Party will be on Friday, October 28, 2016, just to save some sanity on the 31st. You may send your child in costume or bring it with them either way is fine. You are welcome to bring things to share with others. There are 8 children and we do have a nut allergy, now. PLEASE NO NUTS!
NEW Front Door Keypad Lock
Since it is so hard for me to hear when parents are here to pick their children up. We have added a new keypad door lock. I will be sending an individual text to everyone giving them the PIN. This will start on Monday, Aug 22. This will only be available during pickups only. This PIN is only good from the hours of 3:30pm - 6:00pm (when we are home) as of right now. Please use your PIN and let yourself in.
When you leave, please see that the door gets shut behind you. The lock will re-lock itself in 30 seconds. Please make sure when you go to shut the door the dead bolt is not sticking out. I will go through this with every parent.

Show & Share
Please see the SHOW & SHARE BOARD (Changes Weekly)
The kids will be asked to bring ONE toy from home on FRIDAY'S ONLY, but now they have to help pick something that we have learned from the week. I will put on the board what they need to help pick out from home. Example: 1st Week we will be working on the letter A & the color Blue. If you could help them find something at home that starts with the letter A, like the sound in APPLE or something with the color Blue.
Please bring this item in a bag, labeled with their name. Since we are going to have a specific day to bring a toy, I am asking for ALL other toys to stay at home all other days.
