A Few Kind Reminders!

Wear/Bring Tennis Shoes Daily
Please have your child bring or wear tennis shoes each day. We offer the gym as a space choice everyday.

Weather Appropriate Attire
The children go outside nearly everyday and early morning/late afternoons can be chilly! Please send along appropriate outerwear. As winter and snow approach we will require all the gear - snow pants, boots, hats, mittens / gloves, etc. We encourage you to LABEL your child(ren)s gear - we will have a black sharpie at the sign in / out area :)

Toys From Home
On Thursdays, students are able to bring a non violent toy / game from home. No cell phones or electronics please. Toys / games are allowed during designated times only.

* Please r emind your child(ren) that they are responsible for their own toys, and no trading please!

A Peek into October
How did we get to October so quickly? September just snuck away from us! In October our camps and clubs begin, and there is already excitement building around them! We will continue to offer a Daily Special, an activity that offers multiple components including STEAM, Literacy, Social Studies and Social Emotional Learning. It's great, because the kiddos usually just think it's fun! You can take a peek at our October Activity Calendar by clicking here !

Camps & Clubs this month include:

September Highlights
Goodbye September - we really enJOYed you! We staff have had a lot of fun getting to know the children who are new to the program, and getting caught up with those who have attended in the past. The children are making new friends and getting reacquainted with friends they already knew! Highlights of the month included learning and practicing the routines and expectations of Extended Day, The Donut Shop set up in our Dramatic Play area, the opening of Makerspace and checking out the Daily Specials. The weather was decent most days so we had the opportunity to spend plenty of time outside.

Check out the photos of us in action below!
