Updates &

Information

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was spent ordering furniture for our new venture... Kids Too and Adventure Camp! We are so excited and plan to open in just a few weeks. There is so much to do, it feels overwhelming, but a good kind of overwhelming. I can't wait to be able to give you a brand new center! Later this week, I'll send out more information to you on it.

Also, today we start selling Jambalaya dinner tickets. They are $7.50 each and our goal is to sell at least 150 tickets, that way we should be able to make about $1000! That is $1000 that goes directly into your child's classrooms for new toys and equipment. We love doing fundraisers and count on your support, this helps us keep tuition increases to a minimum.

As always, there is a LOT going on around here! Wednesday, we will be celebrating National Pancake Day by having a pancake breakfast in your child's classroom from 7:30-8:00, we invite you to stay long enough to grab a short stack and enjoy some maple-goodness with us! And then Friday is Valentines Day, your child will have a Valentine Party in their classroom from 9:30-10:30, parents are always welcome to stay and help. Please see your child's teacher for what you need to bring. And we are bringing it to you again... Valentine Date Night! We will be open 6:30-9:30pm Friday night and it is FREE to drop off your kiddos while you and your honey spend some Valentine time together. Any enrolled (full time or after school) child is free, and any drop in child is $25 (or two for $40-same family).

Happy Valentines and Happy Monday to all of you!
