OCTOBER 2019 NEWS

A Note from Noni What a beautiful start to the school year. Thanks to everyone who was able to attend Back to School Night and learn more about our classrooms and all the fun the children have each day. Did you know that staff receive a minimum of 21 hours of continuing education annually and recently completed a full CPR/First Aid/AED training? In November, all staff will participate in a training about anxiety. I thought I'd share with you an article about anxiety and how it can affect children--scroll to the the end of this newsletter to read it.

October brings the start of Yoga and Jump Bunch classes, trips to the library, and our beloved Homestead Farm adventure. We already are anticipating all the joy and spookiness of Halloween! See you all at the Fall Family BBQ and please come visit me with anything that's on your mind. I feel so fortunate to have every one of our families here at CCPC-- what a wonderful community we all share.

Community Service Opportunity

A meaningful way to involve your family in caring for our community Many classrooms teach our core values of Kindness and Community by having the children help make sandwiches for people who are hungry. Your families can embrace this church-run program too! Find out more about bringing sandwiches to the CCPC TAP program here.

A Note About Playground Use

Our playground space is reserved for nursery school use only f or both Morning Classes and Extended Days, daily from 8:55am-2:30pm. This allows our teachers to fully supervise students. Food safety in all our spaces is equally important. We ask that you refrain from bringing food to school with your child with the exception of class snacks and lunches for Extended Day.

Thank you for following these policies and sharing this information with any caregivers in your family. Safety for everyone is our top priority.
