If you would like to bring treats with your cards, please feel free to do so, but keep in mind all foods must be store brought.
                                          Star child of the month

This month I would like to reconize Shaela. She is a very smart 5 year old little girl, and has been attending the daycare for a little over 2 years. Shaela has grown up so much since she's been here, she's writting her name, reciting her phone number, sounding out letters, and much more.  There is no puzzle made for a 5 year old that she can not put together. One day she noticed that she has gotten taller, and said, " Ms. Gail, I can see in your mirrow now." I have  wall mirrows behind my sofa that she could not see herself in a couple of months ago. I said to her, "you are really growing" and she gave me a beautiful smile.  The stars are shinning on you Shaela !!

                                Rating children's television shows:
    TV is fine when:                                                                            TV is a problem when:
it encourages thinking                                                                     it exposes children to violence                   it engages children to participate                                                       it deals with inappropriate subjects
it entertains                                                                                    it dominates too much time
it reinforces your values                                                                  it presents gender, racial or cultural
it inspires children to want to learn more                                           stereotypes
it helps your children to appreciate othe cultures
it teaches

Every child is born ready to learn. But who teaches them?  Parents... teachers.... and caregivers.  Plus, study after study has shown what a powerful influence television has on children, for better or worst.
