NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES
All Aboard! This month’s theme is “Traveling, Transportation and Thanksgiving.” We will be learning about the many different ways we can get from here to there and about some of the many different cultures. Each classroom has a lot of activities planned that will focus on the theme for the month. As always we will be learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and days of the week.
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.
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.
THANKSGVING HOURS: We will close Wednesday, Nov 26th at 6:30 pm and will re-open on Monday, December 1st at 5:45 am. Enjoy the time with your family!
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.

Child Development Thoughts
In the first eighteen months after birth, an infant makes miraculous progress. In this relatively short time span, an infant sees his world through his senses. Babies gather information through touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. To help infants mature and learn, the caregiver should stimulate but not overwhelm them. The overall goal is not to “teach” your baby but to interact and explore the world with him. Older infants are on the move. They take great pleasure in discovering what they can do with their voice, hands, feet, and toes.
