Hello, 2025-2026 School Year!

While we are still a few months away from the official start of the 2025-2026 school year, we are excited to share that we are working on a few pre-first-day activities for you, including some parent events, playdates, and more! We will continue to share email updates throughout the summer, regarding required paperwork, sign-up links for Extended Day and Early Birds, opportunities to get involved with the community, class information, helpful hints to prepare for the first day of school, and more.


But for now, we just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your child's early education and your family. We value the partnership we form with you and the relationships that grow from this partnership.


If there is anything we can do to support you and your child, please let us know. please do not hesitate to reach out to us!


Kindly,

Christy Tornelli

Director

As you review our calendar, please know our next newsletter issue will have a new family "cheat sheet" explaining our events throughout the year!

The Children's Center uses Brightwheel to coordinate payments, maintain updated student information, and streamline communication between you, the school office, and your child's teacher.


You may access Brightwheel via an app or computer. Each platform has unique features. If you are new to The Children's Center or Brighwheel, this is the perfect time to familiarize yourself with the features, including updating your child's photo and pertinent information, and adding all parents, caregivers, etc.


The first tuition installment will be charged to your account on May 1st. Please take a look at the settings for autopay, if you'd like, and the primary payer designation. If you are a new family, Brightwheel is the platform by which you paid the enrollment fee.


We are happy to answer any questions you might have about this technology. We have included a link to Brightwheel's user guide for parents. * Please note: Due to the nature of our program, the Children's Center does not use all of Brightwheel's features.

Let's Stay in Touch!

Our weekly school emails are our primary way of communicating with our community, so please let us know if someone else in your household would like to be added to the distribution list so they can receive emails like this one.


Just complete this FORM, and we will add them. If you need to find the current newsletter on the go, we will post the most recent newsletter in the Current Families section of our website, so please be sure to bookmark the page.


We will continue to use GroupMe, so please join the TCC 2025-2026 Parents group. This is another useful communication platform. The 2024 - 2025 group will be retired, so please join this new group if you are a returning or new family. The TCC Moms and Dads groups (for all TCC moms and dads, new, current, and alumni) remain the same, and each individual is welcome to join or leave the group at anytime.
