Greetings!

What a super fun first month to 2023 at CCPC! Our up-cycled Christmas trees gave the children hours of hands-on, creative and imaginative play on the playground. Thanks to everyone who hauled their tree up here!

Jump Bunch kept our bodies moving in the Big Room and will continue monthly. The coaches bring all sorts of fun games and obstacle courses to grow our gross motor skills.

And then, the Reptile Guy--WOW! The children were fascinated to learn about and truly experience so many interesting creatures.

Thanks to all parents who took time to come in for a conference. Teachers really look forward to sharing their insights about the amazing progress we see in the children. Partnering on successes (and challenges) can be so beneficial. Please reach out to your teacher or me about any followups for resources or referrals.

February brings our annual project supporting our community partner, the Homeless Children's Playtime Project. Many thanks to parents Tracy Gardiner and Shannon McMahon for their time and effort to allow our children to create beautiful "love bags" for children in need. Lessons in kindness and generosity can't be taught often enough today.

Please consider joining the fun at our annual Soiree & Auction--I look forward to a fantastic evening on March 25.

Happy almost Valentine's Day--we feel your love each day!

CCPC Helps At-Risk Children
The Homeless Children’s Playtime Project supports children experiencing family homelessness by providing and expanding access to transformative play experiences in the shelters where they live.

Next week, our Woodland and Creekside classes will help make a difference in these children’s lives by assembling play kits to be delivered to their shelters. The kits provide activities that are designed specifically for homeless children to foster playtime skills like problem solving, social emotional learning, and maybe most critically, optimism.

If you did not have an opportunity to donate to the Amazon wishlist, please consider giving directly to the Homeless Children's Playtime Project. For more information on this partnership, please reach out to Tracey Gardiner or Shannon McMahon. 

Thank You Generous Parents
for purchasing ALL of our Amazon wishlist supplies for 100 play kits!

We are so happy to send some CCPC love out to kids in our community.

2022 Annual Fund
Together with our amazing chairs, Liz and Jeff Forbes, I want to express much gratitude for all the generous donations that will allow our turf field to become a reality this winter!

Special thanks to our annual fund class reps for keeping communication (and pledges!) flowing: Tracey and Phil Gardiner, Brie Gardner, Meghan Grenda, Nate Hansen, Kasie Hunt, Kayla and Jeff Izant, Andrea and Dan Murray, Emily Petrila, Lindsey Richardson, and Lauren Weeks.

From increased gift sizes, to more participation, to our wonderful families who stepped up with matching gifts for their class, it all came together to meet our goal. From the bottom of my heart, I continue to say to all who will listen, CCPC families are hands down, the very best! We are so grateful.
