Autumn a Great Time to Explore, Learn

Fall Greetings!

School is under way and autumn is here! Take this time with your child to enjoy the seasonal change.

Go on a nature walk and explore the changes. Help your child to understand why and how they are taking place.

This is a time when children can learn science, math and language very easily by exploring the wonderful new colors and shapes that surround them. It is a great time of year for your child to be outdoors!

It is our hope that you and your child are settling in and feeling excited about what this year can bring for your child’s learning experiences here at Head Start. We know that everything is not completely back to normal but we are working on it.

We believe this will be a transitional year concerning COVID-19. We hope that there will be more education, scientific study and overall knowledge on how to mitigate the virus so that there is significant decrease in cases in our county.

We have implemented a new “fall break” which will take place October 25 through 29. School will be closed that week. We believe this gives time after eight weeks of school, for staff and children to rejuvenate and return to the classroom ready to go!

We are so happy that you have chosen the Head Start program and appreciate your patience and help as we begin our new program year. Remember: WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
