Dear Parents:

Our front entrance renovation took a little bit longer than expected due to the weather, but it is coming together nicely.

The summer months are approaching and we need to know if your child will be away during July and August. Please notify the room staff.

All our babies that graduated from the Baby Room have been with us for nearly a month and are having lots of fun. In May, we will be talking about Spring, butterflies, flowers, birds and rain. The weather is getting better, and hopefully, we won’t see any snow until winter. Please bring some extra clothes for your child as we hope to play with our water table more often.

Dear Parents,

Spring is slowly arriving and some days it is very wet outside, but children still like to go and play. So please bring extra clothes, snowpants and boots for your child.

We will be sending out parent surveys again, as we do every year in March, so please take a minute and fill it out. We are always open to your suggestions and advice.

Baby Room

In the month of February we learned about winter weather, colors, clothes, and body parts.  We also read books, sang songs, and made arts and crafts about winter.

All the children made Valentines gifts for their families, and made cards for each other.

The children love pets, so we discussed different pets, what sounds they make, what they eat, and where they live.  We also started talking about fruits and vegetables because we want to be healthy.

Trinity, Larissa and Jada are developing language skills very quickly.They know how to say childrens names, and some other words.

With the weather warming up, we will be going outside a lot more, so please dress your child weather-appropriate.

This month we will be talking about spring, weather in spring, spring clothes and St. Patrick’s Day.

Alina, MeiToddler Room

March is finally here, and the weather will hopefully start to get warmer. This month, we will be missing Steve because he is moving away. We hope he has lots of fun in his new daycare.

St. Patricks Day is on March 17th, and to celebrate this, we will talk about Ireland and we will make all sorts of crafts using the color green.

We will also talk about rain! We are going to sing and learn a new song called “Singing in the Rain”. Hopefully, there will be some puddles that the children can splash in. We will also sing other songs, such as : “Rain, rain go away” and “It’s raining, its pouring”.

If your child has a favorite book or song they love, please bring it in and we can share it with the whole class.

Dione, Tami

Preschool Room

This month, we would like to say happy birthday to Sasha and Diana. We would like to welcome back our old friends, Samim and Tamim.

March is national reading month, so we will read some new stories and we invite the children to bring their favorite books so they can share them with all our friends. We will be learning about different types of weather, such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. For Saint Patrick’s Day, we will be making some leprechauns, pots of gold, and rainbows.

Please don’t forget that every Thursday, there is Show N’ Share time in our room. Your child can bring their favorite things to show and talk about.
We are very excited for warmer weather, so we can go outside more often.

Dear Parents:

Our daycare will be closed Monday February 15 2010 for Family Day and we will re-open on Tuesday February 16 2010.

Congratulations to Stacey on the birth of her baby daughter on January 1.

We still would love to take the children outside, but they need to have appropriate clothes. Can parents please bring appropriate clothes for playing outside.

This month we will be sending out parent surveys, and we would like to get everyone’s feedback.

Yours Truly,

Baby Room

In January we learned about winter from every aspect (snow, colors, winter clothes). Children made a lot of crafts with different materials (glue, paint fabric) and observed how snow turned to ice and water.

The childrens’ favorite song that we sung every morning was “Hello…It’s nice to see you here.” They learned friends names from this song.

We would like to welcome back Hunter, who is 1 year old now. Larissa and Trinity are learning to talk and they like craft activities very much. Jada is starting to eat by herself and loves books. Caleigh is very independent, she is eating and sleeping without help. Justin is learning to talk, share toy, and be gentle with his friends. Egor is adjusting very well and isn’t crying when his mom leaves.

In February we will be celebrating family day, so please bring some pictures of children and the family.

Alina, Mei

Toddler Room

We would like to welcome Daniel, Riley, and Samim to our room.

In February we will be talking about family and Valentines Day. For our crafts, we will be using lots of red and pink colors.

We still like to go outside every day, so please dress your child appropriately. We will be continuing our projects about me and my family, so please send 4 or 5 pictures of your child.

We would like to say goodbye to Billy, who is staying home with his mom.

This month we’ll be doing lots of valentines crafts. Please make sure each child has a spare set of clothes in case of an accident or messy art+craft projects.

Dione, Tami

Preschool Room

We would like to welcome Nick, Diana and Tamim to our room. This month we are making Valentines cards. Our Valentines party will be on Friday, February 12. If you would like to send some Valentines treats and cards to the daycare, you are welcome. Please ask Olga for the list of children in the group for the Valentines cards. With family days coming, we will be talking a lot about our families and how they are different from one another.

Happy birthday to Grace and Jaxon this month.

Every Thursday we will be starting our Show N Share time, so children can bring something to share with friends at circle time.
