| January 2012 We hope that all of our families had a very happy holiday season and joyful new year’s!. Let me take this moment to remind you of the policies that are in place to ensure that the classrooms begin on time. Breakfast is over strictly at 8am. Your child needs to be in their classroom by 7:50 am to receive breakfast. We also ask that you do not bring your child in with outside food. It is not fair to the other children when your child walks in with a donut, McDonald's and or another special breakfast item. All outside food needs to be completely consumed before they enter the school. All children need to be in their classroom by 9am. This does not mean signed in at 9am, in the parking lot at 9am or even just in the building. They MUST be in their classroom at 9am. It is very disrupting to the other children and staff members that are in the class when a child comes in late. A child needs a few moments to acclimate to their class upon their arrival. It is different for each child how long this process is. Please help us to provide the best possible care to your child by getting them to their classroom on time so that they may get the full benefits of the program. Please mark your calendars. Kinderwood will be closed Monday, January 16th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday. All regular tuition rates apply as per our policy. Please check your child’s folders for the t-shirt order forms. Order forms will go out in the first few weeks of the month and are due back February 3rd with payment. These are the shirts that your children would wear on any field trips or special events at the school. See Miss Char if you would like to see samples of the sizes. Room 5’s progress reports will be handed out on Friday, January 20th. The top letter will need to be signed and returned to Miss Sharon by Monday, January 23rd. Please feel free to discuss your child’s progress with Miss Char or Miss Sharon if you have any other questions or concerns. February will be here before we know it. Your child’s valentines are due Friday, February 10th. Your child’s Valentine’s Day party will be on Tuesday, February 14th at 10am. All families and friends are welcome to join in the festivities. Note we will also be closed on Monday, February 20th in observance of Presidents Day. All regular tuition rates apply as per our policy. February 2012 We would like to start this month by telling you how grateful we are that each and every one of you are a part of our Kinderwood family. Thank you for choosing to share your children with us. We definitely take our role in your life and your child’ s life very seriously. We are here to make sure that your child has a strong start full of love and support. We have many things happening this month. T-shirt orders and monies are due back on Friday Feb. 3rd. Please be sure to have these orders back promptly. There will not be a second chance to order these shirts. Room 4 and 5 children (and room 3 children that will be moving up during the summer time) will wear these shirts during the summer for any field trips. This is also a great time if you intend on chaperoning to pick yourself up a shirt. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Your child will need to bring in their valentine’s on Friday Feb. 10th. This is so we can insure that every child will have them before the actual exchange. The classrooms will have their valentine’s exchange on Tuesday, Feb. 14th at 10am. If you would like to bring a treat for your child’s class we are asking that you help us to make healthy food choices. Please refrain from bringing store cupcakes. They have an abundance of sugar loaded frosting We are closed on Monday, February 20th in observance of President’s Day. Reminder of our policy- if your child is absent the whole week it is half tuition prices. However, if your child attends one of the four days that we are open your regular tuition rates still apply. Thank you for your cooperation. This day will be a teacher-in-service day. Our staff will be recertifying our First Aide and CPR. The Sick Policy The State of California Licensing Board and Health Department has some basic restrictions that by law we must follow: ALL Immunizations MUST be Current Children may not attend school if : 1. Vomiting 2. Loose Stools 3. Fever (100 degrees or above) ( Not including teething) 4. Yellow or green discharge from nose or eyes 5. Any childhood disease (chicken pox, roseola) 6. Needs Tylenol every 4 hours 7. Any unexplained rash 8. If your child may not participate in normal day activities (Outside/Large Motor) Remember all children must be symptom free for at least 24 hours before they may return to school. If we all follow these guidelines then there should be less spreading of germs and sickness. Please help us to keep all of the children and staff healthy and happy during the cold season. Thank you for sharing your children with us! It’s truly a pleasure to serve you and your family! |
