JUNE ACTIVITIES
Summer is here! We are excited to soak up the warm summer sun. Our theme this month is “Under the Sea.” We will be learning about the many wonders of the ocean and what lies beneath.
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. With the change of seasons, it is a good time to clean out cubbies and take home items that are no longer needed home.
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.

Child Development Thoughts
Recent brain research indicates that birth to age three are the most important years in a child’s development. Here are some tips to consider during your child’s early years: Be warm, loving, and responsive. Talk, read, and sing to your child. Establish routines and rituals. Encourage safe explorations and play. Make TV watching selective. Use discipline as an opportunity to teach. Recognize that each child is unique. Choose quality child care and stay involved. Take care of yourself.
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!
