I know many of us had some illness over Christmas break, but it seems to be a horrible year for colds, flu, strep throat, etc. PLEASE work with your child on washing hands, covering their coughs and sneezes and pay attention to your child's health. Keep them home if they are showing symptoms of being ill.
Last week, the kids had a great time with Tasha at Music class. They were excited to see her baby, Alice!
This week we have Travel Tots Friday morning.
The week is going to start out pretty cold, so we may not get a chance to get outside until the second half of the week. Please help me keep pick up time under control by having your children get ready calmly when you arrive so that we can clear out and make room for other parents coming during our pick up "rush hour."
For any parents who have children starting kindergarten next year, here is a link to the Mounds View Schools Kindergarten round up schedule. It is coming up in the next couple weeks.

Also, anyone with a child between 3.5 and 4 years should sign up for their preschool screening with the Early childhood department. It is free if you do it in the school district that your child will be attending. This is a crucial part of getting ready for school. They let you know things that are on track, things you could work on, and any concerns they have with plenty of time to continue working on it prior to kindergarten enrollment. It is a requirement for the Mounds View Schools, not sure about other districts.
Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how your child is grow
ing and developing. Between the ages of 3 and 4, screening can detect possible health or learning concerns, so that children can get help before they start kindergarten.
At the screening appointment, a licensed school nurse checks vision, hearing, height and weight, immunization status, large and small muscles, thinking, language and communication skills and social and emotional development.
Call the Early Childhood Screening appointment desk at (651) 621-7420 to schedule your child's FREE screening today!
