Director’s Notes
Fall is here, Yee haw! Help us embrace our October curriculum theme “Fall on the Farm”. On Friday, October 18th students can come dressed up as something you may find on the farm; pumpkins, animals, farmers, scarecrow, just to name a few!
We are also 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 let us know! We would be so happy to have you, and the children are always thrilled to see the parents!
Pretty soon our Pelican classes will be participating in a Pelican Pumpkin Picnic’s October 17th & 18th. Please, watch for an invitation to be sent home with your child!
Our annual Fall Festival will be at the end of this month on October 31st. Children may come dressed up in a fun, happy costume, please nothing scary or gruesome. Send in an extra change of play clothes if needed. Sign-up sheets for party foods will be posted outside your child’s classroom door.
We’re getting more and more excited for our Trunk-or-Treat in the Camp Lowcountry Day parking lot on Friday, November 1st at 6:30pm. Please see the office if you would like to participate. There will be prizes for the best trunks!
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
*Please make sure that we have your child’s most recent immunizations on file.
*Keep your children at home if they are sick or exhibit symptoms, such as: Vomiting, fever, diarrhea, sore throat/cough, eye infection, rash.
*Make sure your child has extra changes of clothes in their cubbies.
*Drop-off cutoff is 9:30AM, unless prior arrangements have been made with the office.
*Every parent should have a security key card on hand as 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.
