FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Summer is always a time of change at
Care-A-Lot! We have said “good-bye” to some
friends that graduated, “see you in the fall” to
some that have summer off and “welcome
back” to some that join us for the summer
vacation!
You will be receiving re-registration
materials over the next week or so, please be
sure to complete all the paper work and return
it along with your re-registration fee. This is the
only way you can guarantee your place for
September!
Please remember that your tuition is
due on Friday for the upcoming week! It is
important that all payments are in by 5:00PM. If
you pick up after 5:00PM, please drop it off in
the morning.
Our Toddler 1 teacher, Miss Donna had
back surgery and is home recovering, doing
well! Miss Sue has stepped in as lead teacher in

Happy Birthday America! This month
Toddler 1, will be celebrating the 4th of July with
arts and crafts. We will also be having a

flies and many other insects. Looking for bugs
on nature walks with “magnifying glasses” will
be lots of fun!
In Toddler 1, we will also be enjoying
the nice, warm summertime. We will be playing

We are looking forward to our fun and
exciting summer!

We will also be making lots of beautiful

colorful tissue paper!
This will be such an exciting month as

PRESCHOOL 1:
Happy 4th of July! We are looking
forward to hot sunny weather, parades, picnics
and fireworks. July is the month for fun in the
sun!
We will explore the topics of the beach,
camping, amusement parks and other activities
we do outside. We are hoping for many hot
summer days so we can enjoy water play
through the sprinkler. We will continue to enjoy
art projects, stories, games and songs. We are
learning a new song called “Hermie the
Wormy”; we love to sing this silly song and use
our name cards for name recognition.
