September Poem: September

Newsletter Template – Summer

September is the month When Summer turns to Fall

Vacation time is over It’s back to school for all

So even though I’m sad How fast the Summer ends

I’m really glad I have the chance
To meet and make new friends!

September Song: The Listening Song

(tune: Frere Jacques)

Eyes are watching,
Ears are listening,
Lips are closed, Hands are still,
Feet are very quiet,
You should really try it. Listening well, listening well.

School is In Session

The 2023-2024 school year has begun! Where did the Summer go? The Annual Registration Fee of $175.00 has been billed to your account. Some of you might have already paid this fee, especially those who are newly enrolled. Also, those who may have entered into our center during the middle of our school year, your charges have been pro-rated. For our three and four year olds, and the new Two-Threes class, if you have not paid your curriculum fees ($75, $110, $65), please do so.

Hours…Although the center opens at 6:00 AM, the business office does not open until 7:00 AM. If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by or give us a call after that time. Also, children must be clocked in by 9:00 AM, each morning. This policy is very important and will be strictly enforced.

School Supplies

If you have not already brought your child’s school supplies to his/ her classroom, please do so as soon as possible.
