Signups are posted by each classroom.

On October 30th and 31st, we'll have the first of our classroom parties. Children get SO excited! Each classroom will have two parent volunteers. We love to have parents plan games or crafts for the classes that are fall, harvest, or pumpkin-related. 

Halloween is NOT a part of these celebrations. We also must discourage party food in the classes due to a greater number of allergies among the students.  However, treat bags left in the cubbies for children to take home are a great idea.

       Columbus Day 

There will be NOT be RiverTree Kindergarten on
Monday, October 8.
ALL other classes held as usual.  

Friday, October 5 & Monday, October 9 we provide childcare for Jackson Local School students enrolled in our 
Non-Public Days program.
