A Note from Our Principal
Dear Families,
Happy February! The new year is off to a wonderful start, and we’re excited for what’s to come. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’re looking forward to celebrating love, friendship, and kindness with your little ones through fun and meaningful activities! As always, it is an honor to work with and watch your children grow. Thank you for choosing our preschool for your family.
Black History Month
February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. In our classrooms, we’ll be exploring stories of inspiring people, both near and far, through books, activities, and conversations that help our students appreciate their impact on the world.
Valentine’s Day
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday, February 14th. Children are invited to bring in valentines to share with their classmates and will participate in Valentine-themed activities throughout the day. Classroom parties will be held in the morning. Please check your child’s classroom door for additional details.
Family Referral Bonus
Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!
Important Dates
February 2 – Groundhog Day
February 14 – Valentine’s Day celebrations
February 17 – School CLOSED for Professional Development Day/Presidents’ Day
February 28 – End-of-month folders go home
Join us for School-Age Summer Camp
At our summer camps, we measure time not in minutes but in moments. Like the moment your child jumps for joy when scoring their first goal. The look on their face when the rocket they built actually launches. The thrill of performing on a stage, solving a math challenge, or creating digital art.
Registration Opens February 4th
During Day Camp (rising first graders-fifth grade) each week, campers jump into action as they explore science and nature, become involved in creative and performing arts, and participate in sports and games. Our activity blocks give campers fun and variety in their camp day.
During Kindergarten Enrichment (students entering Kindergarten) children work on sharpening literacy and math skills, while also providing opportunities for your child to practice kindergarten etiquette through authentic play and collaborative learning. Students have a blast engaging in inquiry-based, hands-on activities that build upon foundational skills, such as science and engineering.

Have a sweet month,
Administrative Team

SICK POLICY:
Our sick policy aims to reduce the spread of illness among our students and to encourage full recuperation of sick children before they return to school. We depend on parents to assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all of our children.
Children may be sent home if they have any concerning symptoms. Also, a child must be free of all of these symptoms for at least 24 hours before he/she can return to school. These symptoms include:
- A Fever of 100 degrees or more
- Vomiting within the previous 24-hour period
- Diarrhea within the previous 24-hour period
- Symptoms of a communicable disease
- Fussy, cranky behavior and not himself/ herself
- Green runny nose
Following an illness, a child may return to school once he/she has been seen by a doctor or determined that the illness is not contagious. (A doctor’s clearance may be requested.) Please help us keep all of our children healthy by following these rules. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We appreciate your support!

TUITION: Tuition is due the 1st business day of every month. Accounts not paid in full by 12:00 pm the second business day of every month will automatically receive a late fee of $30. If tuition is not paid in full by the 5th business day of each month, your child may not attend until the balance is paid in its entirety. Failure to comply with tuition policies will result in a notice of dis-enrollment. If you’d like to sign up for our ACH program, which automatically pulls your monthly tuition from the account of your choice on the 1st business day of every month, just let us know, and we will help enroll you.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FEES: Computer Kids, Dancing Little Stars and Amazing Athletes are offered weekly, and the cost is $65 per month for a 30-minute session once per week – 4 x each month. Please inquire at the front desk to sign up.
