Caterpillar Classroom News It was a quiet week in the caterpillar room filled with walks in the park to swing on the swings, gaze at the clouds, and enjoy the beauty of nature around us. We send our love to our friends on vacation and wishes for a speedy recovery to those who are ill.

We want to say a special thank you to McDonald's for the donation of cup holders. The children loved transforming them into beautiful castles!

We wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! See you back in school on July 11th!

Vacation days will renew each year on January 1st. You are not required to pay for these days.

A Vacation Day Request Form must be filled out and turned into the office one week prior to requesting vacation days. These forms can be found in the office.

In the event of an extended leave of absence (a period greater than two weeks), families will forfeit their 5 days of vacation. If you choose to have your child take an unpaid leave of absence (i.e. summer vacation) you will then run the risk of losing your child’s spot in the classroom. Unpaid spots will not be held throughout the summer or any other extended period. We cannot guarantee that there will be availability in your child’s classroom after an unpaid leave of absence. If you do not want to risk losing your child’s spot, you are responsible for paying tuition during the leave of absence whether your child attends the center or not. Families that are on a wait list or wish to enroll will fill unpaid spots in classrooms.

Families returning and re-enrolling after an extended leave of absence are required to pay a discounted registration fee of $25 upon re-enrollment.
