Happy February!

 Dear Parents,

We had a great first month of 2018 and are looking forward to spending the rest of this winter season with you and your children. Our teachers and staff are hard at work creating meaningful learning experiences for the month of February. Thank you to those of you that participated in our annual parent survey, we appreciate your feedback and support! When the survey results are in, we will be examining them carefully for areas of improvement and will share our plan with you when it’s ready.

It looks like we will kick off our month to see what Puxatawny Phil will predict for the rest of our winter! As a reminder, we broadcast our school delay and closing information on channel 6 ABC. Parents are able to sign-up for text messaging and email alerts through www.6ABC.com when our school reports a delay or closing. We will also do our best to send out a Tadpoles notification to all of our families, and add a message to our school website homepage. In the event of an Early Dismissal during our hours of operation, we will utilize these resources in addition to contacting parents of children in our care at that time. We pride ourselves of doing our best to serve our families and maintain our regular school operations, however there are times when we must open late, dismiss early, or close due to extreme weather conditions and/or school conditions. Thank you to all of our families and staff for their understanding and cooperation throughout this winter. Your safety and that of your children and our staff is important to us.

Despite the recent wintry weather keeping us indoors, we will be busy throughout the month celebrating the Chinese New Year, Spirit Week, Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day. More importantly we will be covering topics related to Heart Health Awareness and Dental Health, and the teachers will be incorporating some fun activities for our students on these topics. The Kindergarten class is planning their Heart Healthy Valentine celebration with healthy snacks and portions using the My Plate recommendations. Also a special thanks to Segal Puppets for coming out to perform their Tooth Buddies show and Highpoint Pediatric Dental Associates for sponsoring the event for our school.

We will also be conducting our next Open House and Kindergarten Parent Workshop for parents of children who will become Kindergarten-age eligible for the upcoming school years. The Parent Workshop will take place on Saturday, March 17th from 10:00am-1:00pm. Please RSVP to Ms. Heather or Ms. Pam, and feel free to share with interested families who may be looking for a Kindergarten or preschool program. Kindergarten Priority Registration information is available too! And, stay tuned for Early Bird Registration in the weeks ahead for all families.

We are also making preparations now for Summer Camp! It’s not too early to reserve your space for our summer program! More details will be coming home with Early Bird Registration in the upcoming weeks. As a reminder, we do offer a Parent Referral discount for referring families. Please inquire for further details. Many thanks to all of our families that have and continue to refer their friends and families to us for their early childhood education and care needs. You are an invaluable lifeline to our school and we greatly appreciate your commendations!

Sincerely,

Ashton Merelli
