Please let me know what you would like to bring & let me know ASAP if you are unable to make it
New Blanket Policy
Due to safety issues and to reduce risks, no child under the age of 2 will be given a blanket for nap time. Infants birth to 12 months will be provided a sleep sack as stated in the Infant Safe Sleep Policy. This new policy will go into affect today July 27, 2017.
New Sign-In & Sign-Out Sheets
On the sheets starting in August there will be a space for provider to write daily any time children will not be in the home. By signing the sign-in sheet you are signing that you are aware your child will be off the property, kinda like a field trip permission slip. So please everyday sign in and out everyday.

Show & Share
This will be on hold until September. 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.
