August Already!

This month the hot weather will come to a high and then..the smell of September will be in the air. The summer truly went by quickly, but we still have tons of fun left for this month! The children have enjoyed all of the fun trips and visitors this year, but they are still waiting for the face painter to come and the ice cream man too!

We hope everyone enjoyed this year s summer program!
We would like to congratulate Miss Melissa -our Employee of the Month of July. Keep up the great work! Also congratulations to Miss Robyn who will be getting married at the end of the month!

Enjoy the rest of the summer and good luck to all of the children going to Kindergarten or First grade! Hope to see you next year!

Darling Dolphins

We would first like to welcome Gianna & Miss Vivian to our class. We also would like to say happy 1st birthday to Isabelle who is now walking and Ricky who will be walking before you know it. Colton is getting around by doing his commando crawl. Ashley is now waving hi and bye to everyone. James is having fun with clapping his hands. Michael F is always cooing and Michael D is just as happy as can be smiling and laughing with everyone. Please bring in family photo's so we can bring the children to the tree to look at mom and dad during the day. The children had a blast seeing the ponies that came to school. We are looking forward to the music program this month so the children can dance.

Thank you!
Miss Kym, Miss Cindy and Miss Vivian

Terrific Turtles

July was full of such fun and excitement that it just flew by. We had so much fun in the moon bounce and on the pony rides! August promises to be even more fun, there will be so many exciting activities, shows and adventures. To begin the month we are taking a trip to a tropical paradise and then learning some magic tricks, Then we will be going on a adventure under the big top and we will shake rattle and roll ourselves out of summer. The children are all growing so fast and becoming such good friends. Candace and Devan remain friends from their days in the infant room, they play together all day and are always laughing together! Daneidae and Jamie talk all day long and they really seem to understand each other. Danny always brings his friends toys and he is always hugging everyone. Please make sure everything is labeled with the child's first and last name. Sprinkler days for August will be on the 5th, 11th, 20th and 23rd.

Thank You,
Miss Melissa and Miss Janet
