Greetings!

Autumn brought a whirlwind of activities and events to our preschool community this October.

🎃October was spooktacular as we celebrated Halloween in style. Our little ones donned creative costumes, shared treats, and immersed themselves in the season's spirit.
🍁The Pumpkin Patch Field Trips were lots of fun! I was able to join the excitement with Creekside and I truly loved the exploration of the life cycle of a pumpkin! The children were able to see the flower, the green pumpkin, and the big orange pumpkins! The pot belly pigs, donkeys, and goats were a hit to watch and pet! The field trip was a festive kick-off for the fall season!
🖌️Jump Bunch started this month! Ms. Brittany works on building motor skills through interactive and creative movement activities. The children truly enjoy getting their sillies out!
🤝 We are thankful for our engaged and supportive parents who enrich our preschool experience. Your involvement and commitment make our community stronger! The children delight in the guest readers, craft helpers, and cooking projects.

Can you believe that our tours for the 2024-25 school year have begun and continue through January? We always value referrals from our amazing families! Continue to spread your joyous reviews with neighbors and friends!

As we turn the page to November, we're excited about the upcoming adventures and learning opportunities that await our little ones. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming month and don’t forget to set your clock back on November 5th!

NEW: Please No Food in The Picnic Grove
With the change of season comes visitors looking for food on the ground and in trashcans.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our picnic grove free of food through the autumn and winter months. The playground remains a food-free space.

Please feel free to continue using the picnic grove for gathering without food.
ORDER YOUR BRICK TODAY: Phase 2 is Open!
Phase 1 of the Brick Campaign has been installed creating our new stroller parking lot! This campaign will raise meaningful funds for the school's future, as bright now as in our storied 65 year history. Tell your friends and neighbors from CCPC's past communities too! Phase 2 will close at the end of December with installation in early 2024.

Rise and Shine: Routines that Stick
As Fall continues, mornings might feel a bit hectic at your house. If so, it’s a great time to revisit your morning routine! We’ve given you some tips here for routines that really stick so that everyone can get out the door on time without meltdowns (from kids or adults!). 
Halloween Candy for lunch? Check the label please!
Trying to get rid of all that Halloween candy? Before you pack it for Extended Day lunch, please make sure nothing comes to school that has nuts or was processed in a plant with nuts. Most of your typical chocolate bars are not safe for school and will be sent home. Avoid this disappointment by packing nut-free candy!
