Licensed Home Child Care

It is an amazing and beautiful time of the year as Colorado becomes green again. Please remember to start bringing in short sleeved shirts and maybe some shorts for extra clothes just in case your child gets messy on a warm day or they get hot. Please include long sleeves and pants for cool days. If your child wears sandals please make sure they are closed toed (or your child wears socks) and have a strap on the back for safety. Also sunscreen needs to be replenished yearly, so please bring a new one in if you brought one in last spring (SPF 30 or greater and preferably fragrance free). Thank you in advance.

This month we are going to focus on weather, pets, and celebrating the Week of the Young Child. We will also learn about the letters M,T,U; reviewing numbers 1-10; mixing colors with white; the concept of On and Off; and doing some more sorting and graphing.

Special Days/ CLOSURES: April 1st - 5th- CLOSED for Spring Break. Thank you for making it possible for me to spend quailty time with my Mom and family. It really means a lot to us.
