Early Learning Updates

Dear Early Childhood Families,

What an incredible week it has been! We had a wonderful time celebrating the Week of the Young Child, filled with fun and learning across our classrooms. If you haven't seen them yet, be sure to check out our Facebook page to see some great photos and highlights of our program!

As we head into the final seven weeks of school, our calendar is packed with exciting opportunities to connect and grow. From playdates to preschool information nights, there is plenty happening to finish the year strong. We also have some summer fun planned and will be out and about. Please take a moment to review the upcoming events and important reminders listed below!

Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

We know mornings can be busy, and we appreciate your efforts to get your child to school each day. Please make every effort to arrive on time, as late drop-offs disrupt classroom routines.

Timely pick-up is also important, as staff have scheduled duties and meetings immediately after dismissal. Late pick-up fees, as outlined in the Family Handbook, are now being applied.

Thank you for helping us maintain smooth, consistent routines for children and staff.
