PARENT REMINDERS!
NOVEMBER 2019
- NEW CHILDREN – We have one new child to introduce who joined us in October. Parker Hicks was new to the Infant class. Her big brother, Easton, has been with us for a while. (And her mother even came here when she was little!) So we were all waiting anxiously for Parker to arrive.
- HOLIDAY SCHEDULE – Pooh Corner’s holiday schedule will be as follows: Pooh Corner will be closed on Thursday, November 28th for Thanksgiving. We will be OPEN all day on Friday, November 29th. Pooh Corner will close at 2:00 on Tuesday, December 24th and will be closed all day on Wednesday, December 25th for the Christmas holiday. Pooh Corner will close at 2:00 on Tuesday, December 31st and will be closed all day on Wednesday, January 1st for the New Year’s holiday.
- HOLIDAY PLANS – We will be posting a sign up sheet to get a count of children attending the day before and/or the day after Thanksgiving. This will help us with lunch count and staffing purposes.
- CLOTHING – Please be sure that we have a weather appropriate change of clothes here for your child.
- PAJAMA DAY – We will have an All Center Pajama Day on Nov. 27th. Please come dressed in your favorite weather appropriate pajamas. We will spend the day relaxing and thinking about what we are thankful for this year.
- INCLEMENT WEATHER – Along with the holiday season comes the possibility of SNOW! Please know that we make EVERY effort possible to remain open during inclement weather. However, should there be a need to close the center or change operating hours, it will be announced on the television (Channel 6). We will post any closings and/or changes on the Pooh Corner website and change the message on the answering machine as soon as a decision has been made.
- TUITION PAYMENTS are due on Friday for the upcoming week. Balances that are due will be in red; a credit balance will be in black. There will be a $25 late payment fee posted to accounts that have a balance due at closing on Fridays.
- Please be sure that we have current and CORRECT contact information in your child’s file. It is extremely important that we be able to get in contact with you in case of emergency, sickness, etc. If you need to update your emergency contact people and/or authorized pick up people, please see Mrs. Darlene.
- We need to have updated physical and immunizations information each time your child goes for a well-baby visit. You can grab a form from the office shelf or from the classroom.
