New Covid-19 Procedures for 2021
Beginning this week, we will require each child to have a completed health screening questionnaire turned in. You will receive an email every weekend with a link to complete a Google form. If you prefer to complete a paper form, you will have that option as well.

In addition, we will ask you to send your Pre-k only children to TLC each day with a mask. It will not be required but we will encourage the use of their mask throughout the day. Mask breaks will be taken throughout the day as well. We hope this will help reduce the spread especially in these winter months.
This Month's Themes
  • Winter
  • Snow Days
  • Hibernation
  • Winter Animals

Please review the calendar for activities and specials.
Friendly Reminders
  • Please remember to dress your children in extra layers so we can take them outside to play. 
  • Please label EVERYTHING with your child's first and last name.
Medical Information

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.

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, children should arrive by 8:30am (Merrick) and 8:45am (Brookside) for breakfast.
