PARENT REMINDERS!
A 2020
- DECISIONS. DECISIONS: Please be sure to let us know what your plans are for the upcoming school year. We want to make sure we have everything we need to assist with those doing VIRTUAL LEARNING here. We do have Comcast coming out to upgrade our internet services for those virtual learners. We also need to plot and plan any transportation services you may need. We want to help in any way we can to have the best school year possible.
- NEW CHILDREN: We have several new children to introduce who joined us in July. Sydney Wallace was new in the Infant class. Olivia Jones was new to the Toddler class. Amari and Nevaeh Drayton were new to the School Age program. We would like to welcome these children and their families to Pooh Corner Center.
- ICE CREAM TRUCK: The ice cream truck comes on Wednesdays!! $2.50 will get your child a special cold treat to enjoy!! This seems to be the highlight of the day!
- NEW RATES: I hope everyone received a copy of the new rates that will go into effect with the payment on September 4th. We managed to make it through Phase 1 and 2 with all the extra requirements, stipulations and restrictions that were handed down to us from the Health Department and Social Services (ONLY with the help from the Small Business Association and the PPP loan did we survive that madness.) Phase 3 guidelines for child care did not ease any of our restrictions: our group sizes are still limited, our activities are still limited, our class interactions are still limited, meals times are restricted, the extra cleaning and disinfecting are still being done throughout the day and nightly, etc. The only way we can continue to function and follow the guidelines that we have been given is to have a rate increase. Rate increases are never easy and there is never a good time to implement one, but this one is absolutely necessary for the center to continue to care for your children.
- SKIN PRODUCTS: Please be sure to send in sunscreen and/or insect repellent if you want your child to have these products applied at Pooh Corner. We must have signed permission forms for these products to be applied here. We keep these forms on the shelf at the office. These forms can give “long term” permission for applications throughout the summer but the forms MUST have the specific name of the product being used. If you decide to change the product, you must complete a new form.
