Director’s Notes
We are looking forward to lots of fun, festive activities this Holiday Season! Our class Christmas Parties will be on December 19th– stay tuned for sign-up sheets outside your child’s classroom door.
Lowcountry Day will host a Christmas Block Party at our 285 Red Cedar location for all students on December 13th from 10AM-12PM. We’ll have Santa, cookies, a raffle, train ride, bounce house and more! If you have a business you would like to promote with a table or booth, please see the office to sign up.
On Saturday December 6th from 5-8PM we will have a Parents Night Out at Camp Lowcountry Day. Want to go Christmas shopping or have a date-night, care will be provided by your favorite Lowcountry Day Teachers. $25 per child, pizza will be provided. Please see the front office to sign up.
This holiday season we have teamed up with Bluffton Self Help for a toy drive. There are donation bins at both locations to collect new toys for Bluffton Self Help. Please consider donating and have your child place an item in celebration of the Holiday Season.
We would like to thank each Lowcountry Day family for your continued support. We wish you all a joyous Holiday Season and look forward to what’s to come in 2026!
Parent Reminders
**Note: LCD Schools does not offer a vacation week. New enrollments, after one year of enrollment, do not need to pay for the week of Christmas.
*Please make sure your child has extra changes of clothes in their cubbies (especially for cooler weather)! Also, please remember to LABEL everything including hats & gloves!
*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).
*Be mindful during drop-off/pick-up. 3 minutes only under the porte chere. If you need to take a phone call, please park on the side of the building.
*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.
*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.
Serving Christ,
LCD Staff
