Lawn
Front lawn and yard was treated with chemicals for weed control. Please do not walk on for 24hours. Will be fine by tomorrow pickups.
Reminders and Comments..
Next Monday please bring in your wipes and juice for the month of June.
June 1st will mark the one year anniversary of Stacey's Incredible Kids, LLC. It's been an interesting year with starting a business and trying to get all the kinks out. We established a blog in August of 2008 and I believe this feature has supported one of it's goals to be different from other daycares and provide a family interaction with your provider. We have worked to changed the misconception that a family daycare is just play with the implementation of a project curriculum.
Some children have left our care but will always have a place in our hearts. I've watched our regulars grow and learn and also pass their own milestones along the way. I hope to continue growing and learning just as our children do.
Though Stacey's Incredible Kids, LLC is not a group daycare or center with assistants and helpers she has been able to keep the doors open without having any sick days or unexpected closures. I hope that I have meet our exceed your expectations and continue to welcome your comments, concerns and advice.
Thank you for being apart of Stacey's Incredible Kids, LLC!

Swine Flu Updates
At this time the state and local health departments have advised us that students can continue to attend school, as long as they are not sick and do not have flu-like symptoms. Flu-like symptoms include fever (over 100 degrees F.), cough, sore throat, runny nose or stuffy nose. Additional symptoms that maybe experienced with swine flu, includes muscle pain, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea.
If your child is experiencing any flu-like symptoms, it is important that he or she remain home until the child has gotten better and has been well for two days. In order to reduce the spread of germs, you should avoid taking your children to public gatherings such as the mall or sporting events while they are sick. It is also important to teach your children how to reduce the risk of getting the flu and how to protect others from infections.
General tips for decreasing the spread of germs include:
If your child is experiencing any flu-like symptoms, it is important that he or she remain home until the child has gotten better and has been well for two days. In order to reduce the spread of germs, you should avoid taking your children to public gatherings such as the mall or sporting events while they are sick. It is also important to teach your children how to reduce the risk of getting the flu and how to protect others from infections.
General tips for decreasing the spread of germs include:
- Most important: washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be used. Gels, rubs and hand wipes all work well, as long as they contain at least 60% alcohol. Hand wipes must be disposed of properly. Always read and follow label instructions when using hand sanitizer.
- Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (if a tissue is not available, the crook of the arm).
- Teach your children to keep their hands away from their face and avoid touching their mouth, nose or eyes.
- Carefully dispose of the tissues in a wastebasket, and then wash your hands.
- Do not share drinking cups or food.
While the current situation does not warrant closure, if a confirmed case of swine flu is reported, we may close for several days. I will communicate with you immediately in the event of a closure.
If closed children should be kept home and avoid settings that will put them in close contact with other children. I understand that this may be a challenge for your family, and recommend you plan ahead in case of a closing.
Please say informed. For information about swine flu, visit the DPH's web site at http://www.ct.gov.ctfluwatch/swineflu the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov/flu/swine
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our children and our daycare healthy.
