Friendly Reminders

• Remember your child to wash his/her hands when entering the classroom and before leaving the school. This is the best way to prevent illnesses.

• Make sure to bring your child on time so he/she can participate in circle time. This activity starts at 8:45am and will stimulate and strengthen skills in all areas.

• Read your child’s journal, blogs and Friday Newsletter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in case you have any comment or any question about your child’s development or any notes/comments made in your child’s journal.

• Avoid bringing your child with items that can cause distraction such as toys, necklaces, bracelets, watches, etc. This is needed to help him/her concentrate in the scheduled activities at school.

• Label all your child’s clothing and items and make sure that your child has extra set of clothing that is appropriate to weather in his/her cubby.

• Make sure to remove clothing from the cubby and just leave one set of clothing and a blanket for nap time.

• Make sure to take the blanket home on Fridays for laundry and bring it back on Monday.

• Make sure to have enough pull-ups or diapers in the cubby for the day, if your child has not been potty-trained yet.

• Label all bottles and food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared and drop it in the kitchen. Please keep in mind we are a nut free environment.

• Take home the homework blue folder in your child’s cubby and take one or 2 paper sheets from the container that are next to the entrance of the classroom. Homework should be returned by Tuesday and do not forget to bring the homework folder back on Monday.

• Do not bring your child to school if the child has a fever of over 101F or any contagious conditions.
