Holiday Closing

Reminder!

We will be CLOSED on Monday for the Labor Day Holiday and reopen on Tuesday for our new school year.

We are so excited for year 2011-2012! We have so much in store for our children. Some of your babies have come home speaking Spanish and we will add it into our curriculum this year, so get ready.

By now you should have your class assignments and will receive your new packets for this year. Oh yeah! More paperwork, but it has to be done. So bear with us and get everything turned in to us as soon as possible.

Looking forward to a wonderful new school year,

Hurricane Update

We sincerely hope that everyone is making the best of your current storm situation. As you well know, Baltimore City suffered many power outages and our daycare center suffered as well. As of now, Sunday @ 9:25p.m. we are still without power.

Stay posted with blog updates, but as of now, we will be closed tomorrow, Monday August 29, 2011. As soon as our power is restored, we will let you know. We pray everyone is safe and sound.

Prayerfully,

The New Rogers Avenue Daycare Staff

Splash Day...Again

Look at your July calendar for next week and we will squeeze in splash day on Tuesday and Thursday.  Don't miss out!!!

How about Free Bowling?

One of our parents has passed along the following information for free bowling.  She has left some fliers in the daycare center.  Pick up a flier or go online and sign up for coupons to come to your email address.   amf.com  

SPLASH DAY!!!

SPLASH DAY was a complete blast for our children! They ran through the water and enjoyed themselves to the utmost.  What a combination, children and water.  Monday was to be a record day for heat and it was an official Code Red day, but this is how we handled it.  See pics below. It will make you wish you were here. 

This baby decided to sit in the sun and dry off a bit. 

Some continued to play in the water for the duration of the splash time while some posed for a photo op :-).

Our next Splash Day is Thursday, so don't let your child miss out!!!

And The Winners Are!!!

Thank you to all who participated in helping with our fund raising contest.  The prize winners were:

Ms. Veronica White, mother of Julia

Ms. Pat Smith, grandmother of Ethan

&

Michelle Hasty, mother of Sydnee.

Thanks to everyone who helped whether you donated money, purchased cards, or sold cards to family and co-workers.

Thank you.

BUT...we still have more cards to be sold, so continue to show your support and help us offset the cost of running our center.  We try to be creative so we do not have to raise our tuition or charge you for every extra thing you receive.

Look at the summer calendars, those items come at a cost and purchase most of them for you.  Trips would cost less also.

Messy Science Day

Today was Messy Art & Science Day

The objective was to show the children that science is important and can be fun. Almost everything we do has a scientific basis to it.  

Take playing with bubbles for example: 

Isn't it amazing that when water and soap are mixed together and pulled by air or blown on can create bubbles?  Why do they float and what amazing colors do we see? 

What happens when we add color to the bubbles? 

Art with a twist: blow bubbles with food coloring in a cup and place the paper on the bubbles and VOILA! BUBBLE ART.


Finger and yarn painting:

Now for some explosions: 


For this experiment, the ingredients were baking soda and vinegar.  Watch to see the results performed by our little scientists.

Did you notice the intensity on their faces? They were amazed by the outcomes. 

Congratulations To Jaidyn Fox and Parents

Congratulations to our graduates.  Our preschool students are headed to school now and we salute them.  The closing exercise was spectacular and we thank all who had a hand in its success.
