ELCC Supervisor Update Thank you to all the families that participated in the annual parent survey. We will be doing a roll-up of the results and comments and sending those out this month along with some additional information as needed based on the feedback. If you or someone in your family has any special talents they’d like to share with the children, please let your child’s room educators know - we welcome special visitors to the center all year long! Staffing update: Sarah Arbuckle will be starting a permanent full-time position on July 10th. Sarah recently graduated from the Early Learning and Child Care course at MacEwan and has been working with us as a casual staff for the past four years. Sarah will continue to work in all the rooms providing coverage for staff vacations this summer. Michelle Sturley will be starting back with us on July 17. She will go back into the sunshine room with Tendai for the summer and then will be working in the Kinder room September 2017 –August 2018. We will be welcoming a new team member on July 10th, Simrandeep Maan. Simran comes to us with a lot of experience and will be working in the gold room covering Melissa’s maternity leave for the year. We are excited to have her as part of our team! Reminder – Please call and let us know when your child/ren will not be attending the Centre or if there are any changes to their regular schedule and hours of care. This helps to ensure that ratios are met during opening and closing times of the day. If there are changes to your child’s vacation schedule that was submitted, please email me directly. Please note that the down-stairs rooms may close at 5 or 5:15 pm, so you will have to call the upstairs line if you need to contact us after that time. If and when the downstairs rooms close early, the children will combine in the rainbow room until parents pick up. Please be aware that our full-time educators work a 7.5 hour day and are scheduled on various shifts to accommodate ratio. While we do our best to have consistency in each room it can be difficult to maintain when they have time off. Please feel free to text the room cell phone at any time to relay information about your child and to ensure your messages or information is conveyed to the appropriate room educators working that day.

We recognize that parents will have days when they aren’t working but will still want their children to attend the child care center (vacation days, summer holidays, sick days, maternity leave). We ask that on these days, you bring your child in after 8:00 am and pick up prior to 4:30 pm, this still provides up to 8.5 hours of care within that day but helps us maintain staffing ratios for the opening and closing shifts. This will also ensure some balance for your child and give them the opportunity to have a shorter day as well; play is hard work after all!! Thank you for your continued support! Have a great month – Jodie
