Trish’s Tiny Tots May Newsletter

Welcome to the month of May! April was a busy time for Trish’s Tiny Tots.  Our program has made a few adjustments as we comply with the new WAC’s recently introduced for childcare providers in Washington State.  You will notice some changes on our playground, as well as additional posted material and an updated Parent Policy for your review, reference and signature.  If you have not yet updated your Parent Policy, please see me. Also, please note that the weekly lesson plans and menus have been moved to the preschool room instead of the foyer. Please take some time to check out the new material posted. There have been updates to emergency procedures as well, which has been quite the blessing for all childcare facilities because the safety of your precious children is THE most important task we must be entrusted to accomplish. All of these administrative changes have really allowed me to see many more opportunities we can take advantage of to serve our families with the best care possible for your children.

This Month: Weekly Lesson plans will be themed around Bumble Bee’s and Flowers, Mother’s Day, Birds of the Season and Western Ranch! I can’t believe we have gotten to the end of our alphabet! The preschoolers have done so well in this area of retention, and we will continue this process of ABC review as we also implement additional curriculum such as two letter sounds, and site words. We will learn the sounds of the letters, the sign and practice writing them. We will talk about shapes, colors and numbers and continue to review them for consistency. We will be learning about the months of the year, days of the week and the weather! Each week will also talk about principles such as kindness, honesty, forgiveness and patience. I encourage you all to review the work the children take home. I would like them to share with you the topics they learn about, so as parents you can continue to review with them for consistency.

Muffins with Mommy’s: Friday, May 11^th we invite all Tiny Tots and their mommy’s to join us for a Mother’s Day celebration as we enjoy Muffins, Coffee, Hot Cocoa, and Tea at 9:30 AM.

Birthdays: This month we will be celebrating Kylie’s 13^th Birthday and Wyatt’s 10^th Birthday!! Happy Birthday to our sweet children! May this year bring you many blessings and unending peace. WE LOVE YOU!!

Closures: We will be closed on Wednesday May 9^th for an unavoidable appointment.  Please speak to me about rescheduling another day for your child to attend preschool to make up for the curriculum that day, or I will credit you a day for any inconvenience.  Also, we will be closed Monday May 28^th in observance of Memorial Day.

Love and Blessings, Trish
