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

Hooray!  August is here!  We are over half way through the year.  Time is flying and the children are growing so fast.  This months theme is “The Wild, Wild West.”  It’s hot and a perfect time to talk about deserts and the plants and animal life that can be found there. 

We are winding down our summer activities, which will end on Friday, Aug  8th.  The  children have had the opportunity to visit many places of special interest in our area. 

We are getting ready for the start of a new school year, which begins Monday, August 11th.  Remember to fill out new transportation forms and schedules for your child.  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.  

We will be closed on Monday, September 1st for Labor 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.

Child Development Thoughts

Each child has his own personality and responds to experiences differently. Just like adults, children may have outgoing, shy, or even-tempered natures. You should be in tune with your child’s special personality and treat your child in a positive and caring manner that agrees with his special personality. This is crucial to nurturing his healthy emotional growth.  By understanding your child’s personality, you can help him succeed by offering care, activities, and discipline that best fit his needs.
