THE LEARNING PLAYHOUSE APRIL NEWSLETTER Where did March go? I cannot believe we are starting April already. Remember that April showers bring May flowers so please send your child with appropriate outdoor clothes and footwear as we do go outside everyday to drop off and pick up my children from school. Weather permitting we will be in the backyard or the park in the morning and the park after school every day so if we are not home then check there. I will leave the door unlocked at drop off and pick up times so please just knock and come in this way I don’t have to leave the children or drop what we are doing to open the door. Unfortunately my screen door is broke so if you could remember to actually shut it for me I would appreciate it. Thank you for remembering to take off your boots and shoes before you come down the stairs to the day care room. The less cleaning I have to do the more energy I will have for the children! We are growing quickly! Here is a list of all our day care friends… · Laura & Scott · Jayde · Eric Welcome everyone! We do still have spaces available so if you know of anyone that we could help out with child care let me know. FYI… when you refer a family once they have been with us for four weeks you receive a FREE day care day!! This is my way of saying Thank you. For the month of April we are going to be talking about Easter, Under the Sea, Spring and working on rules in the classroom, manners and our numbers. The Learning Playhouse will be closed on Good Friday (April 6) for the statutory holiday so if this Friday is your payday please either leave a cheque dated for Friday or cash on your last day care day at pick up time. We will open again on Monday April 9 and this will be our Easter party. We will be playing games, having an egg hunt and the Easter Bunny might even appear!! Come dressed in your favourite pyjamas and if you want to bring a treat to share please make sure it is PEANUT FREE!!! Our little Scott has developed a peanut allergy so I am asking all parents to please make sure you have at least ONE PEANUT FREE snack in your child’s lunch bag everyday and that is what your child will eat for afternoon snack when Scott is here. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to talk to me. Just a reminder when calling me about day care or when referring others to please use the day care phone number (905) 721-9588. Thank you. I think that is everything for April please let me know if there are any problems or concerns right away so we can work on a solution together as communication is very important to keep everyone happy so the environment is the best for our children!!
