Wishing all of you a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! This year will be adding something new in to our holiday. The kids will be having a Friendsgiving Lunch. This will be on Monday, November 20. I will be providing turkey. I am asking that each family share one of their family food traditions, please let me know what your family will be sharing by Wednesday, November 15, that way not everyone brings pumpkin pie =). This should be fun for the kids.
Operation Christmas Child
This year we as center will be donating a shoe box of toys and other items to send over seas to 2 children. We are talking about being thankful for what we have and that giving and sharing is kind. The kids will be making/putting a box together for a boy and a girl ages 2-4. I am asking each kid to donate 1 boy and 1 girl item to place in the box, if you want to do more that's ok as well. We will be shipping these off next Friday. There will be a label on the box so the kids can see who gets our gifts. I think the kids are going to love it and it teaches such good values. I will have a list printed of items to and not to buy. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
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.
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.
New Sign-In & Sign-Out
The new sign-in & out should be up and running on November 27. Every parent will need an email. Once one parent has been contacted, you will be able to assign as many people to pick up your child. Each person will then create their own 8-digit PIN. I will have this setup on either my phone or an iPad. Unfortunately there is no way to practice this until it goes LIVE. All sign-in and sign-outs must be caught up by every Friday. I will train each of you once this goes LIVE. I'm so excited!
Quality Ratings
I want to thank each and everyone again for helping with new procedures and protocols for rating. We are continuing to follow the new ways, as the kids love it. On Friday, December 8, will be Parent Appreciation, please take a minute in the morning to get yourself some breakfast here and when you come to pick up your child please take a minute to enjoy a piece of cake. If your child will not be here on this date, please plan to stop by. Our new rating will be announced, (even if I have to appeal anything, lol)
***Yearly Rate Increase***
Reminder that everyone's rate will increase on January 1, 2018. It will be $1/day/child.

Show & Share
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.
