March News

"In like a lion out like a lamb" as the old saying goes.  We are bringing in the new season with wonderful actvities to help celebrate the beginning of spring.  March weather is always very unpredictable and therefore the times that we get outside will also be unpredictable.  With many days of rain and going in between cold and warmer temperatures it would be best to send your child in clothing that would allow for the top layer to be taken off if they get too warm.  However it is not quite warm enough to forget those coats at home. 

March happenings:

• St. Patricks day - March 17th
• Incredible Kid day - March 14th
• National Anthem day - March 3rd

This is a great time to start teaching children about the season of spring.  The plants and trees around us will start to change.  Many greens are starting to pop out of the ground from the hard winter.  As well as being able to watch the snow melt into water and disapear from our sidewalks and yards quickly. 



Have a Happy March!

Many things are happening

• Mother's Tea is February 7th & 8th.  (Check with your child's class for exact times)

• Valentine Parties are February 14 & 15th (Sign up sheets are found in or around the classrooms for treats)

• Kindergarten Registration is nearing (Information has been sent home with the students and there is a sheet outside the classroom with information as well)

February will be loads of fun! 

Scwan's Fall Sale Success

The TLC Child Care Board members would like to thank the congregation and the parents of our young children in the Center for their support of our fundraiser with Schwan's.  Since we are a non-profit center, we need fundraisers to give us the opportunity to add to our supplies and equipment and educational materials.  We appreciate the financial support, prayers and encouraging words from our church members.  Please know that our 70+ chidren and their families come to Trinity every day ready to learn about God and His love.  Our welcoming space, modern equipment, playground & summer garden and friendly church members demonstrate to non-members and the community that we care about their children.  Thanks!

November

November is already upon us and that means that holidays have begun.  The Harvest Party in October and on to Thanksgiving and many other family traditions that come this time of year.  We here at TLC are excited to celebrate all of the holidays and traditions with the children and their families.  We will continue to keep you posted on the many happenings of the season.

Thank you to all of the parents and the community for helping us make learning fun and interactive for the kids.  Chaperoning helps make field trips possible and visits from the librarian and the health department help teach the children in fun and exciting ways. 

Thank you to everyone for helping to make this year a great year thus far. 

October is here and so is the cooler weather!

October is here and it brought cool weather as well.  Please remember to dress your child accordingly.  It may be a good idea to send them in a jacket.  We will continue to go outside as long as it is not raining. 

The Fall Scwans fundraiser will be starting on October 17th there should be info in your child's cubby closer to the date about it. 

The Apple Orchard Field Trip went well, Thank you to all of the parentst that chaperoned for it. 

The Fall Harvest Party will be at the end of the month and the Field trip to the Fire Department will be in the beginning of October. 

If there are any questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you

Wow Time Flies!

It is amazing how fast time flies.  It is already the middle of September and we here at TLC Child Care have been busy with many exciting things.  Already this month the children are busy learning and discussing the fair, apples, and the changing of natures colors.  We are looking forward to the rest of the year and all of the exciting things that we will be discovering.

We are EXCITED about the upcoming school year

The teachers and assistants here at TLC Child Care are excited about the upcoming school year.  As we prepare for the new students our rooms are getting a face lift and new items are coming in.  Our students that we have had the honor of having at our center this summer are also getting anxious for the new year.  They love the changes to their environment and all the new items they get to explore.  Unfortunately with a new year approaching that means a few of our students that have been with us through the years are going off to kindergarten.  We wish them all the best in their new school and hope their days are filled with love and excitement. 

Summer is in full swing!

June is almost over and all of us here at TLC Child care are enjoying every moment with the children at our center.  We are anxious to see what the rest of the summer has to hold.  In July we will be celebrating the fourth of July with our families, the center will be closed for that day.  Please take this time to celebrate the holiday with the ones you love.  We will be back on schedule July 5th.  From this point forward our blog spot will be updated regularly to keep everyone in the know how about the excitement that is happening.


Have a great weekend,

All of us at TLC Child Care

Leprechaun is coming!!!!

The children in the older toddler/young 3 classroom had a fun experience trying to capture the little green Leprechaun. We started out reading a book called" Twas the Night Before St.Patricks Day." In the book the children made a trap to catch that little man. But the children in the book couldn't catch him, so I asked my class "wonder if we could catch him?" They all wanted to try. I then asked what kind of trap should we set for the Leprechaun? The class had a lot of great ideas. One said a glue mouse trap would catch him for sure! We had took that idea and used a paper plate with glue in the center. Then used a container that was green and a stick to set a trap for that little man. BUT he was very tricky and got away! He messed our room up something awful but he left the children some gold pieces behind. The children could hardly wait to tell their parents the big story of our little leprechaun. It amaze me how their little minds work and how many awesome ideas they came up with. WOW
