Dear CBA Families,
As the saying goes… March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb! It does look like that will be the case after one “lion” of a March, including the 4th nor’easter on the first day of Spring! The weather looks to be promising into the first weeks of April with sunny weather and temperatures in the 50’s! Each of our classes is going to be sure to take advantage of the beautiful weather as much as possible by going outside every day. Please be sure your child comes prepared to spend time outside and has weather appropriate changes of clothing in their cubby.
April is a big month in the preschool world with Week of the Young Child. The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. Click here for more information on WOYC and NAEYC.
Here at Chesterbrook we will be celebrating all week long with special activities for our students and teachers, as well as families! Here is a preview of events:
Monday April 16- Music Monday
