March Newsletter
“Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” -Genesis 6:22
Monthly Theme
Our theme for March is “Plants” and “Insects” as we learn about flowers, trees, butterflies, caterpillars, lady bugs and more! Letters: V, W, X Numbers: 17 & 18. Color: Purple. Shape: Oval.
Bible Story: Noah’s Ark. We will learn that God loved Noah very much. He was a good man and did everything God told him to do exactly as he was told. With God’s help, we can obey God just like Noah.
To go along with our Bible theme, we encourage children to bring their favorite animal book to share with their class.

Director’s Notes
Spring is almost here! With that means the no-see-ums and mosquitoes are out! 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. And remember save those cute Spring sandals, flip-flops and Crocs for home. They are hazardous on the playground and the children can easily slip in them.
Suggested attendance is 9 hours daily. Please be mindful if your attendance averages more than 50 hours per week, an additional charge of $15 per hour will apply.
Parent Reminders
*Check daily reports for any needs such as extra changes of clothes, diapers, wipes, pull-ups, etc. Please check your child’s clothes in their cubby to make sure they are set for warmer, spring weather.
*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.
