March Newsletter We are pleased to welcome Janice Gibos back to the centre!! Some of you may remember Janice as she was previously the supervisor for the 3-5 program. We are extremely excited to have her back and managing the daycare. If you haven’t already met Janice, please feel free to introduce yourself and get to know her. We see great things in our future here at Wiggles and Giggles with Janice on board! We are still involved in the Scholastic Book Order club! With every order placed by parents, our center receives funds to get new books and art supplies. It’s a great way to help us teach your child! You can pay by credit card online, by cash or cheque. If paying by cheque, please make sure to write them out to Jessica Giesbrecht.
“Children, who are read to or read before bedtime get better sleep.” -Jodi Mindell, associate director of the sleep centre at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia As our weather seems to be getting milder we will be spending more time outside. Please make sure your child has proper attire for the day. Colder days will still require snow pants, warm jackets and toques and mitts, and warmer days will require splash pants and lighter jackets. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the day. If your child does not have suitable outdoor gear, you may receive a phone call and be required to drop it off. We will be having a special Easter visitor on March 24th. Please let us know if your child has any fears of costumes so we can take the necessary precautions and avoid making any children afraid and uncomfortable. We will also be doing an Easter Potluck!!! (3-5 program only) Please see sign-up sheet on table in hallway. Reminders: • •
