Outside play is required daily per DPW.
Children are expected to go outside when
the forecast temperature/wind chill is above
25 degrees, the forecast temperature/heat
index is less than 90 degrees, there is no
precipitation falling, and there is no current
air quality alert. It is understood that given
these parameters there may be portions of
some days that do not meet the conditions
of weather permitting since forecasts are
generally targeted to a point in time in the
day. ~ ECERS

OCCUPATIONAL CHILD CARE PROGRAM UPDATES:
The seniors will begin their weekly lesson plans in December. Each senior has
prepared a whole week worth of lessons and activities for the children. They will
be implementing the lessons during their assigned week. One requirement is to
complete a send home activity for families to connect the topics learned at
school into their daily routines at home. You will begin to see weekly letters in
your child’s cubby explaining the send home activity. Incorporating and expanding on the skills your child learned at school is a great way for him/her to retain
the information and continue to grow.
