1.) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
As most of our programs/schools draw closer to Holiday Breaks I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It is wonderful to work with you and I hope you all have a great time celebrating with your family and friends. I offer you this Preschool Christmas Prayer:
Dear God, Thank you for all the fun and excitement of Christmas. Thank for the amazing nativity story, that tells us about the birth of Jesus. Thank you for sending us your Son, a gift from you int this world. As we look at the lights on the tree, remind us of the light Jesus brought to this Earth. When we sing songs and carols, remind us of the hope Jesus showed everyone. And as we open the gifts and presents, remind us that Jesus was the best gift ever. Help us to share special times with family and friends this Christmas, And to share the light, hope and gift of Jesus to the world. Amen.
2.) Licensed ONLY – Licensed Program Webinar: Environment - Space and Furnishings, Activities and Safety
During this school year the Licensed Program Webinars are going to focus on different sections of the WAC. My hope is that these short (5-15 minute) webinars can give you bite size portions of the Early Learning WAC’s material in order to help our programs stay in compliance. This week the focus is on the first 3 sections of the Environment section.
3.) Licensed ONLY - Licensing “WAC” of the week – Cleaning Schedules
This week the focus is Cleaning Schedules. The WAC covers cleaning schedules for Toys, Furniture, Sleeping Equipment/Bedding, Sinks, Garbage Cans, Floors and Rugs especially starting at section “g”. The key benefit to this WAC is that is outlines at a minimum how often each one of these areas need to be cleaned. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions!
Have a great week!
