We got it

We are excited to announce that we have secured the purchase of the vacant lot adjacent to us, that we have been using as an outdoor play area since opening. Now that we have secured the land, we can begin to implement or vision of a green outdoor activity play area that promotes science, and health. Our first goal is to install new fencing and surfacing material, with the support of Keystone STARS merit grant received.

I need my Sleep

Sleep is critical…we all need to get the right amount of sleep to function properly during the day. This really holds true for children; we engage children in a variety of event throughout the morning that requires them to be alert and active. For toddlers we that arrive before 8:00 AM we offer them a chance to rest again before their day begin and nap time is begins after lunch between 12:30 and 1PM. Help us make your child’s learning experience more enjoyable by making sure they go to bed at a reasonable time, so they are well-rested in the morning.

Parent-Teacher Conference

Guess we all forgot but it’s a must…time for our annual parent/teacher conference, March 23 with three sessions available: Morning 9-10 AM, Mid-day 1:00 – 2:30 PM Evening 5:30 -7:00 PM

We look forward to see you and sharing information about your child, for if you cannot attend please let Mrs. Desaray know in advance so we can schedule you for another day and time,

Agreement Forms

Please be advised that we are redeveloping our agreement form to include more information than just the standard DPW form. We appreciate your assistance and cooperation it is vital that we maintain each child’s record file accurately and in accordance with DPW-OCDEL guidelines.
