***ALL DAYCARE FAMILIES***
Even if your child is not involved with the accessing with Teaching Stratagies Gold, everyone must sign up for a conference this time. There is A LOT of new information/new things in the policies (Nothing drastric, but things that need to be gone over.) So please see the dates below to sign up for a day and time
***Rate Increases***
I know it is in my contract to have an automatic rate increase every January, but since they were just increased in July, I have waived them to be increased. Please make sure and repair for them to be raised next January 1st.
***Annual Survey***
Please be watching your emails for a survey to come out. This is the start of a new thing that we are trying.
***Pictures***
If you have not submitted a family picture via text, yet please do so. This is going to go on our wall for your child to have their family up.
***Ratings***
We are on list for the Colorado Quality Standard's to come out and rate our program. I will keep everyone informed as to what month they will be out. I am very excited to see what we rate.
Flu Season
Flu Season has approached us. I encourage ALL children to get their Flu Shots 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.
NEW Front Door Keypad Lock
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.

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.
