Trish’s Tiny Tots September Newsletter

“If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.”

September has come and it is BACK TO SCHOOL for all of our school aged children. What an amazing summer we had here at Trish’s Tiny Tots.  Although there is so much fun to be had in the sun, I think we are all ready for a dose of Washington’s crisp fall wondrous weather. 

This Month: Weekly Lesson plans will be themed around Back to school, Manners, Apples N’ Ants and Bees N’ Bananas! We will also be celebrating Grandparents day by making handmade treasures for these very important people in our lives. We will begin the process of learning each individual letter per week as well as 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.

Family Photos: If you are a rather new enrollment or have not had an opportunity; please send a photo or two of your family for our family board.  This helps facilitate conversations between children and also gives them a sense of security.  J

Closures: Trish’s Tiny Tots will be closed in observance of Labor Day on Monday, September 2nd.

Immunization Forms: It is that time of year again for parents to update their child’s immunization forms.  I will be supplying copies of the form for your convenience and will need them returned as soon as possible (within the week).

Reminders: I will be transporting EES students M - F during the a.m. hours of 7:40 – 8:05 and Wednesdays from 8:40 – 9:05.  I will be picking these students up between the hours of 2:15 and 2:50. Please be sure you are aware of these times I am in transit.

I am earnestly working on and interviewing qualified staff members to establish an assistant for our growing childcare family.  Thank you all for your patience during this time.

Love and Blessings,

Trish
