ECC Families,

We have the first few days of school behind us.  Thank you for enrolling your child in OLP ECC!  We are looking forward to this new school year and getting to know all of our new students and welcoming back our returning students.  Each week we will send out a weekly update giving you information about activities throughout the week and making you aware of upcoming events and important information. We ask you take the time to read through this update to make sure you are aware of updates and events happening here at OLP ECC.  Teachers will also have a weekly newsletter for their class.  Both weekly updates from the office and teacher newsletters will be posted to our website.  August is going to go by quick but before it ends we want to make sure we celebrate back to school with a family event at Paradise Park.  Every year the school and preschool join together and invite our families to come out and get to know each other in a family fun environment.  You can find more information about the Fall Carnival below.  We value the relationships we build with our families and the foundation of any good relationship is communication.  It is our goal to meet the needs of each of the students who attend our program in order to make sure we are meeting this goal we need your feedback.  If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to let us know.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Many Blessings, 

Catherine M. Koob
Director

This year we will be having Spanish classes again for our group activity.  Our classes will be held weekly for 30 minutes each class.  The instructor will be the same and she will come to each classroom. We are excited to be able to offer this language immersion experience again this year for our 3's and up classrooms.  There is no cost for your child to attend the class the monthly fee is partially covered through the activity fee you pay at the beginning of the year.  You will find below the schedule for classes beginning the first Monday after Labor Day and a fact sheet about TLP.

2016-2017 Tuition and Fees
The first week of school is a little chaotic we understand.  Please make sure you have touched base with our Assistant Director, Teresa Button. She handles all of the billing and payments on tuition accounts.  We would be happy to get you set up on automatic payments from your checking account or with a credit card.  The tuition express account set up information is listed below.  You may contact Teresa at tbutton@olpls.org if you have questions.

Enrollment Paperwork
We are diligently working to enter all of the paperwork turned into us at Meet Your Teacher and earlier.  Several families have not turned in all of the necessary paperwork.  We will be contacting you and we ask you turn in any missing paperwork as soon as possible.  All doctors forms must be turned in within 30 days of your child's start date.  If you have any questions regarding paperwork you may contact Deanna Driskell at ddriskell@olpls.org or Kim Brummett at kbrummett@olpls.org.
