Day Care Reminders

 Just a reminder that all children must be free from a fever for 24 hours before returning to Day Care. Physicians recommend this because children are usually contagious some hours before, during, and after a fever.
 Please check your child’s locker regularly for newsletters, notices, and projects the children have created. We have sacks available if you need help getting items home.
 Do continue to keep an extra change of clothes for the season in your child’s locker.
 Please do not allow your child to bring toys unless for designated days. Toys from home are much too distracting, especially for three and four-year olds, during circle time, listening time, learning time, even when kept in lockers.
 Please send just ONE soft toy and/or ONE blanket for sleeping. Children can’t carry more, and we can’t keep track of more than that.
 

LOOKING AHEAD

Please watch for the following upcoming information in 2010 that will affect your child:

 Classroom evaluations of each child which will be done in late spring.
 Valentine and Easter parties
 Our “Spring Program and Open House” has been scheduled for April 22nd, 2010, at 7:00 P.M. Mark your calendars now for this annual event that promises to be a highlight of our year.

BAD WEATHER
Just a reminder to let you know that Grace Day Care will continue to make every effort to be open at our regular times, even on very cold and snowy days. We are required, however, to have 2 staff people here at all times, and our goal is to arrive safely.

If you usually bring your child around 6:30, and are not sure we will be open or have arrived, do call the day care before starting out. (It is possible that we may open an hour or two late.) If we have to close, it will be announced on TV 18.
