Great Place to go

Found a great place that is just right for our age group called Elephant Steps LLC, is an indoor recreational facility providing a safe, clean and fun environment for children ages 0-10. Here is some information on the place. I hope to take the kids there this summer...

This is not your ordinary indoor gym or playground which may be focused in one area; this is a multi-faceted, high-quality programming facility. Our unique indoor playgrounds offer a wide range of challenges for children of all ages and abilities. Our water room, designed by our own toy engineers, provides a sensory experience that will have children begging to come back. Not only do we offer common play areas, we also offer high quality programs, and exciting birthday parties. Parents with children in drop off classes can relax in our café while their child participates in one of several programs.

Cleanliness is of utmost importance throughout the facility. Only non-toxic cleaning agents are used to keep our rooms and playing surfaces clean and safe for all children.

The cost is $12 per child which includes 1 and 1/2 hours of bouncing and 1/2 hour in the party room for a snack. We will be leaving at 9am sharp. Parents are welcome please have your child wear his daycare shirt.

NOTICE:

I just received a letter from the Department of Neighborhood Revitalization that two buildings located on 27 and 31 Polk Street are to be demolished. This notifies us the abutting property owner that the demolition is to occur by May 28, 2010.

I've contacted the department and though they say that there should not be any problems with debris there are no guarantees. When actual demolition begin to happen I will let my parents know. If I feel it is an unsafe environment because of air pollution, noise etc I will contact parents to pick up there children early.

You may also obtain more specific information from the Office of Anti Blight and Neighborhood Revitalization located at 999 Broad Street, Bridgeport second floor --203-576-7765

Celebrate May 7, 2010

Tomorrow May 7th is Provider Appreciation Day-It's a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers and other educators of young children everywhere. Today's child care professionals are the world's unsung heroes. This profession is one of the most underpaid occupations in the country; yet research shows that early childhood is the most critical developmental period in a child's life. It takes a special person to work in this field and the contribution these individuals make to the quality of children's and families' lives too frequently goes unnoticed. Provider Appreciation Day offers a unique opportunity to recognize and commend the unselfish dedication, commitment and compassion that child care providers demonstrate everyday.

Joke of the day---to cute to resist!

"I can remember the first time I had to go to sleep. Mom said, 'Steven, time to go to sleep.' I said, 'But I don't know how.' She said, 'It's real easy. Just go down to the end of tired and hang a left.' So I went down to the end of tired, and just out of curiosity I hung a right. My mother was there, and she said 'I thought I told you to go to sleep.'"— Steven Wright
