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

It’s already July!  Our theme this month is “Our Country/Patriotism.”  Our activities this month will center on learning all about our amazing Country.  We will be using the colors, Red, White, and Blue in our crafts.  We will learn about the flag and some of the other important symbols of the beautiful USA.

It’s the time to get wet, go on field trips and enjoy fun activities.   

Calendars for the summer activities are available in the lobby and on our website.  Check the calendar and bring your child prepared with the items they need for the scheduled activity.  Permission slips must be signed and children must follow field trip guidelines or they cannot attend.  There is a charge for field trips. 

We will be closed on Friday, July 4th for Independence Day.  

The children enjoy running and playing outside in our  outdoor play area.  Our Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom gives the children opportunities to have “hands on” experience exploring nature and using their creativity to build and create.  The children go outside every day, weather permitting.

Each child should have a water bottle, a change of clothes, a small blanket for quiet time, and any other supplies they need to provide for their care.  All personal items except those listed above should be left at home.  All supplies should be labeled. 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. 

Take the time to check your child’s note for any items they may need.  Clean out cubbies and take home items that are no longer needed.

Please bring only water in your child’s water bottle.  We are a nut free facility, so do not send any nuts or nut products with your child. 

Do not bring your child to daycare if he is not well.

Congratulations: Vanessa, 5 years of employment on July 24; Shelby, one year of employment on July 24.

Child Development Thoughts

Children learn in many different ways. Each child has his own way of learning—some learn visually, others through touch, taste, and sound. Watch a group of children and you’ll understand at once what this means. One child will sit and listen patiently, another cannot wait to move and count beads. Another wants you to show her the answer over and over. Children also learn in different ways depending on their developmental stage. One thing we know is all children love to learn new things by exploring and discovering. Children love to solve problems during play and in daily activities.

Keep the whole family active by making time for active play every day. We live in a beautiful area with numerous parks, trails, and splash pads providing unlimited opportunities to enjoy year-round outdoor activities.  Get out and enjoy the great Utah outdoors!
