Hello Families!
We hope you'll join us for one of our playgroup orientation sessions this coming week! Learn about all the fun things we are planning for this year, explore our new space (Room #3), & get reconnected to Cecil Manor after a summer of holding playgroups at Gilpin.
Just a reminder for the new school year, please make sure to bring your ID and enter through the main office. You will be asked to sign in & receive a visitor sticker. A Judy Center staff member will be there to greet you.
See you soon!

Miss Michele will be at our 11:00 Wednesday playgroup this week!
For the month of September families will participate in a variety of fun activities where they will focus on mindfulness, movement and breathing while following a simple routine. The children will develop self-regulation, focus and body awareness to help them be successful in school.
Located to the left of the front entrance. The Market is free & always available!
Stocked with food, hygiene items, books, clothing, & school supplies.
School Readiness Tip: Practice Asking for help!
Children often don't ask for help because they don't know the words, or they confuse "asking for help" with "giving up." Break the habit down into three distinct steps:
- For physical tasks: "My jacket is stuck. Can you please help me unzip it?"
- For academic tasks: "I don't understand what to do next. Can you show me?"
- For social conflicts: "He took my toy and won't give it back. Can you help us?
Ultimately, school readiness is less about your child knowing their ABCs and more about their emotional confidence to say, "I need help," ensuring they can navigate a brand-new classroom environment with independence and resilience.
