Monthly Theme
This month’s theme is “Getting to Know You/All About Me” where we will learn about ourselves and our families. We will learn that everyone is unique and special and that no one is more or less important than another!
Our Bible lesson is “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” Jesus loves everyone- especially little children!
Dates to Remember:
September 1: School Closed- Labor Day
After School News
This is our last week of Summer Camp! We will have an ice cream party on Tuesday the 5th for our end of summer camp celebration! Back to School is right around the corner! Thanks for such a fun and exciting summer. We look forward to seeing some of you at after school!
First day of school is August 6th! We are excited to see some of our “Campers” back for after school, as well as many returning after schoolers we’ve missed all summer. Keep all toys at home; no personal play items or smart watches. Be sure to LABEL EVERYTHING. Parents, please bear with us, the buses will be slightly slower the first 2 weeks. There is no need to call; we will always call you if your child does not get off their assigned bus. Please don’t forget, if your child will not be riding the bus, please notify the office prior to pick up time.
Director’s Notes
As of September 1st, ALL families must be enrolled on Tuition Express (automated payment). Please see the office for an enrollment form if you are not currently enrolled.
Our 2025-2026 Parent Handbooks will be available August 29th and ready for pick up at the front office. Additionally, your annual re-registration fee of $100 is due Friday, September 12th. If your child was registered after March 1, 2025, you will not have to pay a registration fee at this time. If you attended Summer Camp, after school registration is paid for the 2025-2026 school year, it will expire at summer registration for 2026 Summer Camp.
*Please make sure that we have your child’s current immunizations on file. This record is required by the State of South Carolina, and your immediate assistance is appreciated.
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).
*Due to heat advisories and thundershowers, we have in the Lowcountry, our playground outside times may vary; therefore, the class schedule may be altered to accommodate play time.
*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 and sunscreen at home prior to coming to class. We may re-apply in the afternoon if needed. You may bring in LABELED sunscreen and 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.
