Week of August 24-28

It's amazing how busy the last couple weeks of summer can get!  It's like everyone tries to squeeze in every last drop of outdoor time!  Add that to trying to get ready for the start of school and preparing to hibernate for the long hard winter and...before you know it- it's Christmas!!!

We will be busy the next two weeks as well!  Enjoying our last days with our school age friends before they say goodbye for the school year!  Dominic, E.J. and Landon will all be off to kindergarten this fall!  And Talon, Logan and Aidan will be back to school- but they are old pros at that by now!  Jaylin will also be leaving us this school year to attend a preschool program closer to his house!

But Ian will be back and I have two new boys starting after Labor Day as well!  We will have a great group for our school year as well!  Looking forward to getting back to our preschool routine!  I was just looking over this year's curriculum themes last week and it looks like we will have a lot of fun learning this year!

With Chris' surgery last week, we missed our Travel Tots class so I am working with  Ms. Beth to find a date to reschedule that class.

This week we will be having BIKE DAY!  On Thursday, everyone may bring a bike (or trike, or scooter...whatever they ride!) from home for the day!  Please bring your child's helmet as well!  We will have some fun riding around, making a bike track and maybe even washing the bikes if weather cooperates! Then you can bring the bike home Thursday at pick up time!

              SUMMER FUN AT THE PARK!

Week of August 3-7

Hey families, finally got my computer back and it is up and running as good as new!

Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers for Chris.  He is home and ready to start the next step- more surgeries and follow ups.  Then continue the long road to recovery.  Erin will be here off and on to help when I have to take him to appointments and things, so as of now, looks like there aren't any upcoming days that daycare will need to close.  I will let you know if that changes.

This week we have Travel Tots on Tuesday at 9am with Ms. Beth.  The kids will be excited to see her!

I have MANY cute pictures from the last month or so at daycare to share with you all,  I will upload them later and do a few picture blog posts so everyone can see all the fun we've been having!
