Toys for Tots
For our December Holiday giving projects we will be collecting new toys for Toys for Tots. We will be collecting toys from 12/5/2018 – 12/14/2018.
MISSION: The basic mission of the Marine Toys for Tots Program is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas.
GOAL: The primary goal of Marine Toys for Tots is, through the gift of a new toy, help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children.
Book Fair
When you come in you will notice we have our Scholastic book fair. Books will offically be on sale starting Monday December 3rd and run to December 7th. Today will just be for the children to look through. Teachers will also be making classroom wish list if you would like to donate a book!

We will be hosting a Winter Gap camp that highlights activities from our Summer Camp. Camp will be from December 24th – 28th; we are CLOSED on Christmas Day. We understand that LCPS is closed December 21st and December 31st and drop in days will be available for an additional charge to your weekly tuition should your student attend those day(s). If you are interested, there will be a flyer with prices and a short description of the activities we will be hosting at the front desk next Friday.

We are excited to start our NAEYC accreditation journey. We must turn in all of our program portfolios and classroom portfolios on December 31st! Below you will see a little information about NAEYC.
“The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a professional membership organization that works to promote high-quality early learning for all young children, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research. We advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children.
The association comprises nearly 60,000 individual members of the early childhood community and more than 50 Affiliates, all committed to delivering on the promise of high-quality early learning. Together, we work to achieve a collective vision: that all young children thrive and learn in a society dedicated to ensuring they reach their full potential.”
