February is here and it is very cold outside. Make sure gloves and hats are brought so we can try and get outside if it is not to cold. This month is also full of half days and vacation care days. Please make sure to double check which site your child will be a for those days. February 14th is out Parent's Night Out Care! Make sure to take advantage of our great deal!

Happy New Year! Welcome back! We had an awesome first half of the year! I can’t believe it’s already January! December was packed with fun activities! Our Holiday Party was a success, thank you to everyone who brought in stuff to make our party great! The kids have been great with adapting to the new site lay out and rules! We are excited for the Elsmere Lip Sync coming up. We made a cd with a bunch of the songs the children are doing for lip sync, so we have been dancing machines!  If you’ve been to Elsmere you know “What does the fox say” has been playing at our site every day since we made the cd! I’m pretty sure all the kids know the song by heart now! Homework Club has been a hit! We have at least 10 kids going each day, which is awesome! We are excited to get back into normal routine and have some fun this month!

Happy February!

We will be starting out "Pet Board" this month, so please send in a picture of your child's pet to program! When Valentine's Day comes closer we will be having the kids create Valentine's Day cards for senior citizens. School's Out will be having "Parents Night Out!" on February 14th, when the kids will enjoy a delicious pizza party and fun for just $10. Weather permitting we will be bringing the kids outside so please make sure they are bundled up with a coat, hat, and gloves and if there is snow they need their snow pants and snow boots.

I can’t believe it’s already February! January went very well for us.  Thank you to everyone who helped out with The Children’s Hospital toy drive.  The kids really loved creating all of their beautiful pictures and cards for the children. This month is a short one for us, due to all of the days off!  We’ll be making Valentine’s for the elderly at Good Samaritan that will be hand delivered by Mandy.  We just received a bunch of new games and I can’t wait for the kids to get a chance to play with them.  Please make sure everyone is still coming with coats, hats and gloves.

Happy March!! This month we are starting a new program to spread positive news to parents and guardians. We are starting to keep our eyes out for exceptional behavior that deserves a certificate to show the children that we appreciated their behavior. The children have been very excited about this new program and are ready to earn their very own certificates. The only mystery of the program is that the children will not know who gets the certificates until the parent or guardian comes to pick-up or drop-off their child. It adds a certain level of excitement. We announce to the children when someone earned one but again don't say who to anyone until that parent or guardian arrives. We hope that you enjoy this as much as your child/ren. If you have any questions about this program please ask at anytime.

As the weather starts to warm up we will begin to get outside more. Make sure that your child/ren are coming with the correct clothing items to stay warm outside.

Happy March and almost spring! The School's Out Winter Olympics were a huge success. The effort and sportsmanship displayed by all was very impressive. Team Ethiopia won the overall title but everyone tried their best.

Now that spring is on it's way, or so they say, we will start trying to get outside to the Elsmere playground again. Please send in outer wear conducive to going out.

We are also going to be doing a couple month long science projects that everyone should check out. First, we will be receiving caterpillars and growing them into butterflies to be released into the world. And the other is a composting project. We are going to try composting inside with Red Worms. All of our compost will be donated to the Elsmere community garden.

Hope everyone is well and happy Spring.
