Barlina House Families:
Can you believe it is April and spring is here? We want to be outside as much as possible, so please make sure your child has the proper outside gear, (hats, gloves and a good jacket).
I hope we are all happy the masks for the children are optional. It was a long time coming. If you are more comfortable with your child wearing a mask, we will be keeping our masks on so they do not feel left out. We said good bye to Mrs. Brown who was working with the 3-year old class in the main room on Tuesday-Thursday. It was nice having her for a short time.
We will be celebrating the Week of the Young Child during the week of April 4-8. This is a special week for the children. See the flyer below for information on theme dress up days.
The last Zoom call from the library will be April 12 and 13. The library did a great job reading and dancing with our children. It was a lot of fun. We will also be having a tornado drill in the month of April. We will be going in the basement and practicing what we need to do to protect ourselves. The drills will be April 21 and 22.
The children will be preparing some special gifts for all of their Mom. A flyer will be sent out at the end of April explaining some special things each class will be doing. We will not be celebrating Mother’s Day at school with the Mom’s or special person in their lives. We are still not allowing visitors at school. The children will present a short video that will be sent to all the families.
Preschool registration for next fall is currently happening. You can do this online or at the administration office. If your child will be attending Barlina House next fall, please be sure to register early to assure your child remains in the program.
Registration for summer camp is also online. The camp starts June 6 and offers two, three week sessions during the summer months. This is a great program to introduce children to the preschool environment and also as an extension of preschool to build on social, physical and intellectual skills during the summer months. More information regarding this program can be found simply by clicking the Summer Camp Guide tab on the Crystal Lake Park District home page at www.crystallakeparks.org.
