Week of 2 - 6 February

Last week we said good-bye to Mark. He is now at a daycare that is much closer to his house. This week we will say Hello to Zachary (another one)! Zachary is a wonderful little boy with lots of spunk. I am sure he will make friends right away. I met his parents back in November and I am very happy to have him joining our daycare family.

This week we will be doing something a little different. We will continue to review our sight words, math skills and spanish lessons; however we will be focusing more on basic skills this week. We have some new board games to teach us about using manners, following directions and taking turns. All of the children will be participating in these games.

We will also be working on the daily tasks of putting our shoes on, puting our coats on, washing our hands and brushing our teeth. I have purchased tooth brushes for each of the children. After breakfast, snacks and lunch we will begin brushing our teeth. This will reinforce the concepts of "taking care of our bodies" with the children.


We have 3 children who are ready to start potty training and this week we will help boost their confidence and let them know what is going on in the bathroom when the older children are in there. Amelia, Julia and J.P. will be our "Assistant Potty Trainers". They will each partner with a younger child to help them on the way to potty training.


This Friday will also be the monthly Parent's Night Out. Please sign your children up as soon as possible. You are all welcome to drop your children off Friday night at 7pm and pick them up by 9am Saturday morning for just $20 a child. Please feed them dinner before they arrive and dress them in their pajamas (bobos).
