A Note from Our Principal
We’re fully embracing the summer season, enjoying our time teaching and bringing fun to our students in these warm months! Our teachers have added activities into their lesson plans that our students can enjoy outside. We can’t wait to share photos with you soon via Links 2 Home. We hope this month is filled with health and happiness for you and your families.
Family Referral Bonus & Open House
Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? Invite them to our Open House on August 5. When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!
Kids Helping Communities
As we do every summer, we will be participating in our Kids Helping Communities initiative to give back to communities in need. This year, we will be partnering with Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Stay tuned for more details.
Don’t Forget to Re-Enroll for Next School Year
September will be here before we know it! Thank you to those families who have already secured their re-enrollment for the upcoming school year. Our classrooms are filling quickly. For those who have not yet registered, we urge you to complete the re-enrollment process as soon as possible to guarantee your child’s spot. Please let us know if you have any questions or need a copy of the Letter of Intent form. We look forward to another year of growth, learning, and fun together!
Splash Days
We have several water play days planned for our students this summer and can’t wait for your child to participate! Children should come to school in their swimsuit (with swim diaper when applicable) and with a towel and a change of dry clothes. Please remember to apply sunscreen to your child before you drop them off. Our scheduled splash days for July are every Friday.
Did You Know?
When children learn about other cultures, everyone benefits. So we encourage students to share their family traditions. In circle time, we engage in lively group discussions… and together we build a sense of belonging and inclusion.
Important Dates
July 4 – CLOSED for holiday
July 31 – End-of-month folders go home

Teachers will make every effort to respond as soon as they are able. As always, for urgent or time-sensitive matters, please call us at 704-875-1177
