"When You Care About Their Care,
Put Them In Our Care"

Wow!  December is here already!  Where has the year gone?! This month’s theme is “Let’s Pretend”  We will be learning about the many ways different cultures celebrate the Christmas and New Year Holidays.  We have lots of fun crafts and activities planned for the month.   As always we will be learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and days of the week. 

Each class will practice the songs they have chosen for the Winter Program, which will be held on Tuesday, Dec 16 at 6:30 pm.  We will close at 6 pm that day to get ready for the program.  Families are invited and encouraged to attend and see their children show off the things they have learned. Our program will include a special visit from Santa!

Even though it has gotten colder outside, the children go outside every day the weather permits.  They enjoy running and playing outside.  Our Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom gives children opportunities to have “hands on” experience exploring nature and using their creativity to build and create.  Be sure your child is dressed properly for the days activities.  

Each child should have a water bottle (with water only), a change of clothes, a small blanket for quiet time, and any other supplies they need to provide for their care.  All supplies should be labeled.  All personal items except those listed above should be left at home.  Parents, as you arrive at the center, take your child’s belongings to the classroom and put them  away to help keep your child’s supplies from getting lost and/or mixed up.

We are a nut free facility, so do not send any nuts or nut products with your child. 

CHRISTMAS HOURS:   We will close Wednesday, Dec 24th at 3:00 pm and will re-open on Monday, December 29th at 5:45 am.  Enjoy the time with your family!  We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday!

DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD TO DAY CARE IF HE IS NOT WELL!

 Remember to keep all enrollment and transportation forms for your child current. If you have a change in your child’s information or schedule, be sure to notify us.   Children must follow transportation guidelines or we will not transport them.  

Congratulations:

In October, several of our classroom teachers achieved a High Quality rating from Utah’s Child Care Quality System. 

Our center and several of our teachers also achieved the All Means All Award for  intentionally promoting an environment where all children are respected, valued, encouraged, and included.   

Thanks to all of our teachers and staff for your hard work and dedication.  We love you.

Child Development Thoughts

Holiday celebrations can be wonderful opportunities for children to learn about the traditions and values that are cherished parts of people’s lives. The important thing to remember when planning holiday activities is: Are the activities meaningful to the children? Are their needs and interests being met? Is the activity a valuable use of the child’s time? Holiday celebrations are one way for programs and families to work together to create developmentally and culturally appropriate learning experiences.
