“Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be afraid, for I am your God.” -Isaiah 41:10
Monthly Theme
This month’s theme is “Fall on the Farm”. This month we’re celebrating fall on the farm. Children will explore the sights and sounds of the season with hands-on activities like learning about pumpkins, apples, farm animals and harvest time. Through songs, stories and creative play, we’ll enjoy the beauty of autumn while discovering how farms help provide the foods we love. Letters: D, E, F, Numbers: 4, 5, 6, Color: Orange, Shape: Circle. Our Bible Study talks about having faith over fear. There is no better comfort than what comes from God.

Director’s Notes
We are looking forward to this year’s “Fall Class Parties” on October 31st. Children may come dressed up in costume, please send in an extra change of play clothes. Sign-up sheets for party foods will be posted outside your child’s classroom door.
Our Trunk-or-Treat will be in the Camp Lowcountry Day parking lot on Friday, October 24th at 6:30PM. Please see the office if you would like to participate. There will be prizes for the best trunks!
We are looking for parents to volunteer a few minutes of their time to read a story or nursery rhyme (of your choice) to a classroom. If you would like to help, please sign up! We would be so happy to have you!
As evenings get darker, be mindful of little children in the parking lot as they can quickly break away from parents and dart out the door. Drive slow and cautious, as little ones are hard to see at night. Thank you for helping keep our children safe.
Parent Reminders
*Important reminder: Please keep your children at home if they are sick or exhibit symptoms of being sick. (Vomiting, fever, diarrhea, sore throat/cough, eye infection, rash).
*Please make sure your child has extra changes of clothes in their cubbies. Check cubbies daily for your child’s daily report.
*Drop-off cutoff is 9:30AM, unless prior arrangements have been made with the office. For security reasons, the doors lock at 9:30- we are sometimes in the classroom and not always available to buzz you in.
*Every parent should have a security key card on hand. Please remember the Directors are not always at the front office. If you are habitually having to be buzzed in, we will assume you have lost your card and will issue you a $10 replacement card.
*Be sure to apply your bug spray at home prior to coming to class. We may re-apply in the afternoon if needed. You may bring in LABELED bug spray.
*To see all messages, parents must clock in/out with our ProCare touch screens. If your fingerprint is not working, please see the office for assistance.
