May Newsletter Hi everyone, it’s May! However, I may have been too optimistic last month in saying that the snow was gone! PLEASE make sure to check the weather daily to be sure your child has proper outdoor gear. Your child may need winter clothes, or waterproof clothing. If you want to start getting prepared, you can also start thinking about sending a hat and sunscreen, so that we have it when you are ready! With that said, make sure the sunscreen is nut free, and that EVERYTHING your child brings is labelled! Speaking of clothing, PLEASE make sure that your child always has spare clothing, as they will be getting wet! We try to keep up with clothing inventories, but in the end it is your responsibility to keep up. If we have no extra clothes we will call for you to bring some. Just remember; if your child comes home with a bag of dirty clothes, it is safe to assume that replacements are needed!! Thanks :) 3-5 Parents: We are having issues again with personal items coming into the centre. Children are NOT allowed to bring anything into the centre, with the exception of stuffies/blankets for nap time and PJ day. If it is your child’s show and tell day, their item can stay in their cubby.
A friendly reminder to all that between 4pm and 4:30pm the 3-5 children are doing afternoon circle. Please be as quiet as possible when entering the open area so as not to disrupt their circle. I know this has been mentioned numerous times, however it has still been an issue. You MUST call the centre by 9:30am if your child is going to be late, as we have the right to refuse your child for that day if you do not. This is because we will send staff home if numbers are low, and since it is getting nice out, we will be heading out much more often in the mornings, and if your child comes when their group is gone, they may not stay at the centre.
Reminders:
Early closure is Tuesday, May 30th. Pick up by 4pm sharp! Late fees will apply. We are closed Monday, May 22nd for Victoria Day! Enjoy your May Long Weekend!
If you have any questions/concerns, please come into the office or call the centre @ 250-793-5437 Janice Gibos - Manager
