Thank You

We would like to Thank all of the children and families for a great holiday season.

Dear Parents,

       Welcome 2010! Happy New Year! We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. We would like to thank all the parents that contributed to our holiday parties and made them a success.

       The children enjoyed making snowmen. We brought snow in from outside and the children experimented with their sensory skills by creating snowmen at the tale.

       We have many educational activities planned for January. We have fun water play activities, messy play with food, pretend play and building using many types of blocks.

       We will continue to go outdoors, weather permitting so please send in warm coats, gloves and hats.

       Happy Birthday Craig and Mrs. Shannon.

Happy New Year, Ms. Shannon & Miss Christina

Dear Parents,

       Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were wonderful. Thank you to all who have been very generous and thoughtful with your many treats and gifts during the holidays. December was great fun and the children enjoyed making holiday surprises for their families and learning about the many different holiday traditions.

         The year ahead will bring more challenges for the children, as they continue to learn their numbers and letters. We appreciate the assistance many of you have given us with the education of your children, working with your child at home helps reinforce their learning.

         During the month of January, your children will be evaluated on their social skills, as well as their recognition of letter and numbers and their ability to recognize and write their name.  Progress reports will be given out in February.

         Please remember that it is a Hillcrest policy that the children go outside daily with the exception of rain, snow or extreme cold. Only a written note from your child’s doctor stating that he/she may not go outdoors is accepted to keep your child indoors.

Sincerely, Miss Maria

Dear Parents,

       Happy 2010 Everyone!!! We hope that your holidays were especially peaceful. Thank you for your cookie decorating donations. The children enjoyed making them for their families.

       The children will continue to work on their letter sounds as well as letter and number recognition. They will also continue to practice writing their names. During circle time, we will start playing “sequencing” and “opposites” activities.

       Progress Reports will be sent home in February assessing  your child’s progress.

       Please remember that it is a Hillcrest policy that the children go outside daily with the exception of rain, snow or extreme cold. Only a written note from your child’s doctor stating that he/she may not go outdoors is accepted to keep your child indoors.

Keep Warm in the Winter!!

Dear Parents,

      We would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

      December was a very busy month. The children enjoyed their visit with Santa, as well as, the holiday party. A special thank you to all of the parents that contributed goodies for our party, without your help it would not have been such a success.

      During the month of January, the children will continue to work on shapes, colors, counting and cutting skills. We are working with your child so that he/she are prepared for Pre-K by the end of the year.

      Throughout this month, we will be making winter art projects such as snowmen, polar bears, penguins and ice cube painting.

      Please remember that it is a Hillcrest policy that the children go outside daily with the exception of rain, snow or extreme cold. Only a written note from your child’s doctor stating that he/she may not go outdoors is accepted to keep your child indoors.

Happy New Year, Ms. Dawn & Ms. Melissa

       I would like to congratulate the children for making such wonderful progress in both potty training and in their growth and development. They are learning so much and doing fantastic!

       The learning continues in the month of January, exploring all that winter has to offer. We will be learning all about the different types of animals that live in the cold winter weather and we will be practicing our colors in Spanish.

Dear Parents,

       Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We would like to thank all of our parents for making our holiday party a great success.

       We will continue working on sensory development in our mini circle time singing songs and reading our favorite stories. We will also be working on our motor skills. The older babies will be expanding their vocabulary as we try to get them to repeat simple words and the younger babies will be strengthening their muscles with a little tummy time.

       Please remember that it is a Hillcrest policy that the children go outside daily with the exception of rain, snow or extreme cold. Only a written note from your child’s doctor stating that he/she may not go outdoors is accepted to keep your child indoors. Remember to send in warm coats, gloves and hats. The fresh air is good even if it’s only a short period of time.

Happy New Year, Ms. Pauline & Ms. Jeanette
