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

Happy Fall Ya’all!  This month’s theme is “Fall, Family, and Friends”.  We have planned lots of fun activities and crafts that center around our theme.   We will be using colors orange and black, and learning numbers, letters, days of the week, and months of the year. 

Witches and Goblins, be prepared to have a spooktacular month! Join us at the Annual Trunk or Treat at the Santa Clara Library on Tues, Oct 28 from 4 to 6 pm.  Our Annual Fall Carnival will be held on Thursday October 30th from 7 to 8 pm.  We will close at 6:30 that day so our staff can get their rooms ready for the carnival.  Costumes are optional. Bring your families and join us.  

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

HALLOWEEN WILL BE A PAJAMA DAY AT COUNTRY KIDS!  WE WILL CLOSE AT 5:30!!

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:

It includes the ability to identify and understand one’s own feelings, to accurately read and comprehend emotional states in others, to manage strong emotions and their expression in a constructive manner, to regulate one’s own behavior, to develop empathy for others, and to establish and maintain relationships
