June 2019
Newsletter
I can’t believe June is here and we have some wonderful events planned, especially for our pre-k children that are graduating into kindergarten.

The themes this month revolve around ocean life. We will also work on some Father’s Day crafts, focus on the book Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, and how to be a good friend.

I will be out from June 26-July 8, 2019. If you have any questions during that time, please contact Lidia by email at tlcbrookside@optimum.net .

Our summer schedule officially starts July 1, 2019. Please check our website and emails for the calendar of events, specials, etc.

Thank you for a lovely spring and I look forward to a wonderful summer with your children!

Graduation Trip and Ceremony
The graduation trip is on Wednesday, June 19, 2019. We will be visiting the Queens Zoo in Flushing! Parents are welcome to join. No siblings please!

Children will ride the bus to the zoo. There will be limited seating for parents to ride the bus so I suggest carpooling since parking is not easy. Please complete and return the graduation trip form along with payment by Friday, June 7, 2019.

The graduation ceremony will be held on Friday, June 21, 2019 at Brookside. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30pm. I will be taking graduation photos this coming week and the following. Please note: graduation is for children that are entering into kindergarten.
Evaluations
Teachers will be sending evaluations out next week. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to schedule an appointment with your child's teacher. If you want to discuss early intervention with me, feel free to call, email, or discuss in person.

Coach Ian will have his own evaluation and send them out to anyone that was in his group. He will also be available to discuss any questions you may have on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 from 4:00pm-6:00pm at Brookside.
Clothing
Socks and sneakers are BEST for the playground. NO OPEN TOE shoes please!

Please replace your child's clothing when it is sent home, especially if they are being potty trained. Children should ALWAYS have 2-3 sets of clothing at TLC.

Now is a good time to change spring clothing to summer clothing.
Sunscreen
Please apply sunscreen each morning. If you want us to re-apply, please complete the form below and return it with sunscreen for your child.
Medicals
 Updated forms are needed at the following dates: 3-6-9-12-18 months &
2-3-4-5 years.

You will be reminded as your child's birthday or medical expires.
Please use TLC's form every time.
Medications can be administered with proper doctor's permission and medication that matches. For example: we cannot administer Tylenol if your doctor specified Motrin. It is VERY specific.

All medication must be provided in its original packaging including the cup/syringe. This will ensure proper dispensing of the dose.

If you want medication to be given to your child to manage pain, or if your child has allergies and they require medication, please speak to an MAT trained teacher to check in your forms/medicines.

This Month's Menu
The latest menus can be found on our website.

Please bring in an alternative if your child does not eat what is on the menu. For children under 18 months, please continue to bring in yogurt, fruits/vegetables, and infant snacks. Some of the snacks are not appropriate for their age group and we don’t always have alternatives.

PLEASE LABEL ALL FOOD ITEMS.

As a reminder, breakfast is over by 8:40am. Children should be in by 8:30am if you want them to be fed breakfast.
