Saying Goodbye
As most of you know, October 1st is Marissa's last day with Katie's Kids. We wish her the best of luck in her new position at Metcalf.

COVID-19...
PLEASE NOTE: COVID-19 is still a risk in our community! We have had multiple incidents of people connected to either staff or students testing positive for COVID even after vaccination. Please help us protect our students and our staff by continuing to take precautions when out and about in the community. Take extra care while traveling outside of the community. And remember that mask use is still a requirement inside of our building by all people aged 2 years and older.

Hours of Operation:
Our hours of operation will continue to be 6:45am to 5:30 pm. All drop off and pick up procedures will remain the same.

  • DCFS is still requiring that all adults and children over the age of 2 wear a mask inside of our building. We understand that fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask. We do ask that adults be good role models and wear a mask at drop off and pick up as your child will continue to wear a mask.
  • If you are not feeling well or hold any COVID symptoms please arrange for someone else to drop of and pick up your child. This is to protect your family and the staff.
  • If you are in quarantine due to a potential exposure, please make arrangements for someone else to drop off and pick up your child.
School Age...
We are hosting a school age day on October 11th and October 22nd. Please notify a member of the leadership team if you would like your child(ren) to attend.
