Happy Spring everyone, And welcome to our new children into the program! Finally, we are springing into warm weather, and flowers and leaves will begin to sprout! This month’s learning experience will be all about science; the children will be exploring, experimenting, investigating, and learning all about living things. The children will be going outside to explore living things around them, planting seeds, and learning the life cycles of various plants and insects. Books relevant to this experience will be “The Tiny Seed” and “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle, and other resourceful books that support this subject. Parents, please go onto classroom Dojo to further extend your child’s learning from the classroom to home. Read daily to your child to engage them in thinking, remembering, and expressing their ideas from what they are learning. Important dates: This Friday, April 2 Center is closed: “Good Friday.” Reminder: children need 3 changes of full clothing, small blanket for naptime

This month the children will be learning about the winter season. They will learn about the change in weather, snow, temperature, the proper winter clothing, and hibernation. Reminder to all parents of Precious Memories: Precious Memories has been working diligently and following all protocols by the state and local health department to keep children and staff safe from contracting the COVID-19 Virus. However, it is a virus that is not under control yet. Please to keep in mind that if anyone of the Precious Memories classrooms is exposed to this virus, we are required by state and local health department to close the classroom for 14 days, so that children and staff can quarantine for 14 days. During this time, no parents form the classroom that is close will be charged a fee. If you are anyone living in your household got tested, you must inform the center and stay home until you receive the results. We are asking for your patience and make plans for alternate care during the times we must close due to the virus. If any classroom is close due to the virus, the children will have remote learning, we encourage parents to comminate his/her child’s teacher to participate in the remote learning. Feel free to visit the program class dojo, if you are not familiar with the app, you can ask your child ‘s teacher for help. It is very user friendly for parent and children, even though the children might be home due the virus, it does not mean that the learning stops. When finding alternate care for your, inform that person about helping your child to learn by participating online or you the parent can participate with your child, after you relax form work. Keeping the children learning & safe is our number one priority. Please make sure that Ms. Maritza has your most up to date number for the E-blast, so we can notify you of any delays, cancellations, and early dismissals due to snow. It will also be broadcasted on local T.V. stations and radio. Stay Warm!
