We will also continue the theme of Friendship learning about caring and sharing .

Daycare Montessori

In February , we continued the theme for Winter. In addition we made art and crafts for Valentine Day and Family Day. We hope you enjoyed the poster boards in the classroom.

In March , apart from learning about Spring and all the changes it brings we will be making art and craft for St Patrick’s Day .

We will also continue with Fun Family Phonics program , covering the letters S, T, U ,V . Please encourage your children to sing the weekly letter song- eg if the letter is 'A' say a 'A' says a apple on the tree says a, a, a.  Every Wednesday will be show and tell; for show and tell we encourage children to bring objects that start with the sound of the week.

We will also work on being nice to each other in the classroom and being kind with our hands and words.

ALSO continuing will be another theme of the month - Healthy Eating :

• The goal of the month and for the year 2020 will be to promote  healthy eating and nutritional habits in children.
• Please encourage children to bring healthy and nutritious lunch and snacks at the center.

NOTE : REMINDERS TO ALL OUR PARENTS:

1. Please ensure your child has indoor shoes which they change into when they arrive at the Centre and which stay at the Centre when leaving.

2. Please have a change of clothes at the Centre , in case they are needed.

3. Please label all you food containers and let us know if any food needs to be heated (note also: as you are aware, ours is a ‘NUT-FREE’ Centre.)

4. Please arrive on time especially if your child is attending the Montessori – this helps keep disruption to the minimum.

5. Please inform us immediately if there are any changes eg address, telephone, contacts.

 6. Please ensure you look at your child’s cubby when you are leaving and take home their work etc.

  7. Please inform us as early as possible (by 9am – would be great) if your child is not attending the Centre that day.

  8. May we also suggest that you drop-off your child and leave soon thereafter. This makes the transition much easier and                                            conducive to a good start to the day, both for the staff and the children.

We will continue to work on the following class rules at the outset and parents please help us by encouraging the same  home. .
