WELCOME TO MAY:
Congratulations to Lori and Brian! Dyson is a big brother to a precious
little baby girl, Juliette Michelle, born early Friday morning, April 17th.
She came a little quicker than they anticipated - 20 minutes from start to
finish - so the little pumpkin was born at home, much to everyone's surprise.
Mom, Dad, Dyson and little Juliette are doing fine. Can't wait until they
come for a visit!
We are looking for prices from contractors so that we can move our playground
over the the side a little. What a lot of work that is going to be! If you
know of someone that can remove tree stumps, haul sand and bring in a little
fill, please let us know. We would like to get the playground moved ASAP.
Wendy has completed the evaluations and will be meeting with parents starting
next week. We are so happy with the results of the evaluations! All the
children scored 92% or above using the DIAL 3 assessment tool. Good job to
everyone involved in our program!!
APRIL:
The school children have learned the Pledge of Allegiance. If you click on
video clips you will see Joseph saying the pledge - great job Joseph! This
month we will continue to learn lots of songs and finger plays. They are an
active group! Even when they think they are playing and making arts and
crafts they are really learning and learning a lot! Mama 'Chette is a great
teacher and the children love her. They can't wait to go down in the morning
and begin their day.
School is winding down and Wendy will be doing the evaluations on each of the
children. Once those are completed she will be contacting parents to set up a
time to meet with you and discuss your wonderful child's progress. We just
got in some new and exciting curriculum for our next four year old class. It
is so colorful and looks great - can't wait to use it.
The babies are growing like flowers (normally I would say weeds, but they are
just too cute to be called weeds!). They are all doing great, reaching and
passing all the milestones we hope for them to achieve. Some are rushing
along to grow up too quickly while others are taking a little longer path, all
normal and all fun to watch! They all enjoy dancing and "singing", listening
to stories, being rocked, tickled and talked with.
We have a wonderful group - parents and children alike! We currently have one
full time opening and one part time opening. If you know of anyone looking
for child care, please share our name and phone number with them. Feel free
to tell them any of the wonderful experiences you and your child has had with
us at Calico Kids Day Care:)
