July Newsletter It’s officially Summer! With summer comes the heat, and more outside time. In order to help us get out quicker please remember to apply sunscreen to your child before you leave the centre in the mornings. Don’t forget to check your child’s cubby regularly as well in order to make sure they have spare clothes that fit and are summer appropriate. HATS ARE MANDATORY all summer long, so please be sure to send a labelled hat with your child each day! Your child also needs both indoor and outdoor shoes. Outdoor shoes must NOT be open toed, as they are difficult for walking in and playing in our rocky playground. A reminder for I/T parents - Some extra food prep is required. For example, hot dogs must be sliced in half, cherries must be pitted and halved, and carrots need to be shredded or cooked. If you have any questions regarding lunches please see one of your child’s teachers. We are also asking all I/T parents to send a picture(s) for our family tree on the wall. It is looking very bare and outdated. The children love pointing out their family pics, so please help us fill the tree again! Reminders: Early closure is Tuesday, July 26th. Pick up by 4pm sharp! Late fees will apply. Please remember that you MUST call the centre by 9:30am if your child is coming. With lots of children on holidays in the summer it helps us plan our field trips and staffing. Don’t forget to call if your child is not coming as well!
“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity”
