October Newsletter 2018

Halloween Party
Our Costume Party will on Oct 31. Your child is welcome to wear their costume all day. I suggest bringing a change of clothes, just encase they do not want to leave it on. You are also welcome to bring a snack for the others as well.

Fall Hours
Come Fall starting August 23 on Thursdays only, ALL children need to be picked up by 5:30 pm. I have to take an in the classroom class Fall Semester. I am not sure if it will last from September until December, but for now plan on every Thursday until Christmas. I will know more details after my class starts how long this will last. Thank you in advance!!!!

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.

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.
