That has everyone very excited!!
We will continue to sing our ABC’s

Hope you are all enjoying a fabulous
February! This month toddlers are
beginning the ‘I’m Growing’ section of
our curriculum. We will be learning
about how we grow, our body parts and
what there are for. We will be doing a
class growth chart to see how big we
are. In a month or so when we finish
the ‘I’m Growing’ curriculum we will
measure ourselves again to see just
how much we have grown in a short
time!
The week of Valentine’s Day our class
will be doing lots of Valentine’s crafts.
Please look out for those on Friday,
February 12th!

15 Ways to Make Your Little One Feel
Special
1. Ask caring questions each day: How was
your Day? Did you take a good nap?
2. Tell your child you love him at least once a
day.
3. Wear whatever "jewels" your child makes
or buys for you. Display his artwork; use his
clay vases and bowls.
4. Get excited when your child tells you about
his day or latest accomplishment. Nodding
your head is not enough.
5. Request a "kid fix" (a hefty hug and kiss)
whenever you feel the need, and let your child
know it makes you feel better.
6. If you're out for the evening, call in a
goodnight kiss and promise an in-person one
as soon as you return.
7. Sing while she plays; play while she sings or
dances. Duets are very supportive, often
memorable, and usually hilarious.
8. Use the mail to surprise your child with a
comic book, funny card or fancy pencil.
9. Ask your child what was the best and worst
part of his day -- every day.
10.Put a note in her lunch box that says, "I
love you."
11. Keep a chair next to your desk so your
child can visit or chat.
12. Ask about your child's friends regularly.
13. Prepare the grocery list together, and ask
your child for dinner suggestions.
14. Compliment your child and let her
overhear you complimenting her to someone
else -- a relative, friend or neighbor.
15. Do something ridiculous: Chase your child
through the house or start a pillow fight.

Notes from Robin
MOST IMPORTANT –
We are in need of extra clothes at the
center! Our need is for 2T-5T for
both boys and girls. We often have
children that need to change into clean
clothes and we have none available, so
if you have anything extra that you
could donate it would be much
appreciated!! Also please remember to
have a spare set of clothes for your
child in their cubby.
Please remember to clock your child
in and out everyday. This helps us
keep track for billing and food
servicing purposes.
Please report any changes to
addresses and or phone numbers
for home, cell and work.
