Last Minute Field Trip!! Boys Outing...

Tomorrow Nelson will be taking our sons to see How to Train Your Dragon at the Bow-Tie Cinemas in Trumbull at 12:05pm. Any daycare child who wishes to go will need to bring $7.50 for their ticket. Concession stands are expensive so I'd encourage parents to bring juice boxes and snacks for their child. Field Trip consent forms will be available to sign tomorrow and those needing car seats will be asked to leave theirs for the trip. The movie is 98 minutes long. The children will be getting brunch before they leave. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD WEAR THEIR DAYCARE T-SHIRTS!

Back in Action

Now that the daycare is back in full swing I would like to start some educational curriculum with the children again. This time we will have an hour or so of project based on colors, numbers, sizes and shapes, letters and sounds... We have started some of this curriculum already and would love if parents would encourage children to rely colors and numbers back to them on a daily basis as repetition helps.

I would ask that each child bring in a composition notebook (black and white), a box of crayons and a small glue.. Everyday completed worksheets and projects will be put into there notebook. These will be left in there bins so that parents can see there progress everyday and ask questions at home with there children of what they have learned. I may also have weekend assignments where the notebooks can be taken home over the weekend and complete projects will be due when they return to daycare the following week.

Scholastics are in and orders are due by on March 12th

Question--

Was thinking about creating daycare t-shirts with our logo on them. This would be great for field trips or for those who would have their child wear this like a uniform everyday so they don't have to get their child's regular clothing dirty. I'm looking into pricing and I hope to keep it low-cost.

-How do you feel about this?
-How much would you be willing to pay for a t-shirt?
-How many would you buy at the price you are willing to pay?
-Are there any other items you would like to see with the daycare logo on them.

Please feel free to email me with your comments and suggestions @ lopezfam4ever@msn.com

What's going on....

I'm currently 36 weeks today and I have weekly appointment now to the doctor. I have begun showing signs of getting nearer to having the baby and I've pretty much let everyone know what is going on.

My next appointment is next Tuesday and technically the last day the daycare will be open in next Friday the 29th. Obviously no supplies will be needed for February. I will let everyone know as soon as our little guy has arrived and will contact each parent to when their child will be able to return.

Substitute APPROVED!

Just received word from the state that of December 31, 2009 Nelson has received approval to be a substitute at the daycare. "Substitute" means a person approved in writing by the Commissioner who may assume the provider's responsibilities in the provider's absence, and who meets the same qualifications as a provider. Nelson has gone through the required medical, fingerprinting and CPR/first aide course.
