FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER
Greetings Families!
It’s official, Puxatony Phil saw his shadow and we’re in for six more weeks of winter. Although this
news is disappointing to some parents, it’s wonderful news to many children. Upon hearing the exciting
news, many children cheered, “hooray, more snow”! Recently, children have been making the most of the
snow we have received by sledding on the hills adjacent to the sports field as well as participating in
“archeological digs” for “dinosaur bones and eggs” in the snow mounds. We hope to continue making
these exciting discoveries as the snow begins to soften and melt during the month.
In January ChildsPlace welcomed the beloved “Puppet Lady” to our school for several
performances of fables and fairytales. We also saw a wonderful start to our Winter Enrichment Classes.
This session dance, music and gymnastics are offered to children from January through March. It is never too late to join an Enrichment Class. Please call, email or stop by the office if you would like your child to join in a class. Tuition rates can be adjusted to the number of classes your child will participate in. During the last two weeks of January parents and teachers had opportunities to formally touch base about their children’s progress at Parent-Teacher Conferences. If you did not have an opportunity to schedule a conference and would like one, please feel free to contact the office at anytime to schedule a conference.
In February ChildsPlace will be pleased to welcome Project Nature as our monthly in-house field
trip. “The Turtle Lady”, as we’ve come to call her, will be visiting to share stories from nature with a
“green” message. Please see the signs on front doors for information regarding specific dates and times.
As always, if your child is not scheduled to attend on that day, please feel free to bring them in for this
special visitor. Friendship celebrations will be taking place in classrooms during the month of February as well. Please see your child’s classroom newsletter or Parent Board for the date and time of their Valentine celebration. Finally, at the end of the month, ChildsPlace will be having a school wide pajama day! Children, as well as parents and teachers, are invited to wear pajamas to school on Friday, February 26th!
Families of school aged children needing care during the upcoming February Vacation week,
February 22nd
through 26th, please complete and return the registration form as soon as possible.Additionally, please remember that ChildsPlace will be closed in observance of President’s Day on
Monday, February 15th. Enjoy the long weekend with your family!
