June Preschool Newsletter

Weather Forecast: HOT
Here we are beginning the first month of summer! The weather is getting hot and so are we…hot to polish off your child’s learning, in preparation for next year. We will be directing our efforts toward helping your child have fun experiences and develop critical learning skills. We hope that you will share the excitement with us by taking time each day to listen as your child shares his/her experiences with you.

Summer Safety
With summer now here, we all try to dress to best survive the hot weather. Clothing and footwear become skimpier. We ask for your help in keeping your child injury-free by dressing them in sneakers or sturdy sandals. Backless sandals and flip flops are particularly hazardous and should not be worn. We do a lot of running and climbing and your child’s feet need support. Thanks for your help!

There is not enough room in our refrigerator for your child’s lunchbox. We recommend blue ice to keep your child’s lunch cold.

All children can also use the protection of sunscreen. It’s a great idea to make it a part of your morning dressing routine. For a small fee, we will refresh your child’s sunscreen after naptime.
