November 2020
Newsletter
Dear Parents,

October was a lot of fun! We enjoyed learning about our Community Helpers, having fall fun at our annual festival, and of course all the fun Halloween activities!

For November, we will center our activities around the themes of our five senses, thankfulness, giving, family and friends, and sharing. We'll have a friendship luncheon plus lots of additional activities for the kids. We look forward to a fun-filled month!

As a friendly reminder, with the cooler weather, please label all coats, hats, and gloves!

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.
