Can you believe the summer is almost over?!? We are going to be sure to get in our final days of waterplay, outdoor fun, and the ice cream truck!

Our big focus is planning for our upcoming school year!  We are so excited to welcome back old friends, welcome new friends, and to enter new classrooms!   You will soon receive information regarding your child transitioning to his or her new classroom.  Most of our students will be ready to move up!  We will be hosting a Meet and Greet time.  This is an opportunity for you to visit your child’s new classroom and meet the teachers.  This will be on August 17th from 3:30-5:30.  We encourage you to go and explore the new classroom with your child.  This will help in the transition.  During the week of August 22nd, we will take some time for the children to visit their new classroom.  Then, August 29th, we will be transitioning into new classrooms!  We are so excited to start a brand new school year!!!!

A few of our classrooms will be switching locations.  Our Infant and Toddler classrooms will be switching spots.  Our Pre-K A and current Kindergarten classroom will also be trading spots.  We are looking to do this during the weekend of August 12th.  This way everything will be in place prior to all of our transition activities.

Have a wonderful month!  Enjoy your final days of summer!  Get excited about the new adventure we will have together in our upcoming school year!!!
