Easter Party April 22nd

2011-04-14T15:00:00.000-06:00

We're going to be having an Easter party for the children on Friday, April 22nd in the morning. There will be an egg hunt and Easter activities!

*Please dress your child in outdoor-appropriate clothing.

Information Needed!

2011-04-05T09:37:00.004-06:00

Parents,

Please be aware that we will be attaching notes to your child's sign-in sheet this week.

State licensing requires the full information for an "out of state/area contact person": (name, physical address, phone, city, state). These will be attached to your children's registration sheets and placed in their files.

These information cards will need to be filled out completely and returned to Isabel or Tessa by the beginning of next week (April 11-15).

Thanks!

Children are so genuine and innocent...

2011-03-06T18:55:00.003-07:00

A few days ago, I was sitting with my little friend V. (-age 3) during nap time having a conversation about the day, food, and random things in general.

She was quiet for a few minutes, obviously concentrating on something, and says, "Tessa, you know I love you, but I miss my mommy."

How sweet is that?!

Halloween party!

2010-10-07T14:17:00.004-06:00

Hey parents! Get ready for the sugar rush!

We'll be having our annual Halloween party on Friday October 29th at 9:30 am.

We will be playing games, eating treats, and each teacher will have special Halloween activities planned for their classrooms!

Please bring your child fully dressed in costume as well as a pair of regular clothes for them to change into after the party. If your child will be bringing treats to share with the class, please make sure they are store-bought and individually wrapped. Finally, to make things easy for everyone, please label everything your child brings that day; this includes their treat bags or buckets, costumes (and all of their parts) and their extra clothes.

Thanks for your cooperation!
