Rain boots are super nice for puddles... but not so great for running in the gym! If you send your child in rain boots, please make sure they also have a pair of sneakers for our large motor times. Thanks so much! |
|
|
|
Reminder: We go outside when we can! Please pack appropriate clothing for your children to enjoy our outdoor playtime. Please also send your child with close-toed shoes and an extra set of clothes. If your child wears rain boots, please send shoes to change into. Label, label, label everything! |
|
|
A Word About Dresses: If your child is wearing a dress, please make sure she has shorts on as well. We have recess, large motor time, and yoga movement daily. |
|
Please help us keep everyone safe by driving slowly while in our parking lot, especially during our carpool time and in the South parking lot. Share this information with all of your drivers. Thanks so much! |

Share with your friends!!
We still have plenty of time left this school year! There are limited spots still available in our 3s,4s,and 5s classes.
Tell your friends all about our safe place for children to play, to be in community with loving adults and other children, and to learn socially as well as academically. Contact Trish Morehead at trishm@fumcallen.org or 972-396-7575. She would love to show them our beautiful school!

My name is Kandice Perez and I serve as the VP on the Playday Board. I joined the Board in October of 2020 so that I could volunteer to help our teachers and staff, and to serve the children. I have a husband named Steven, and we have two boys, Jack (3) and John (20 months). I love Children’s Creative Playday and look forward to many fun (and play) filled years ahead.

Outdoor Classroom Update:
It is SO hard to be patient, but we know that everyone is working toward completion of our shade structure as soon as all permits are approved. Once the structure is up, the classroom will be built very quickly. Child's Play is working hard to get us back on track! We are still waiting on our mud kitchen and will work on our sensory paths once we can fence in our area! We can't wait to share gardening, outdoor painting, weaving, sand play, and so much more!

Well balanced meals provide the food children need to grow, think, fight infection and fuel their bodies. Are you needing ideas for nutritious lunch choices for your child? Check out sample menus, information on food allergies, and choking hazards at www.fns.usda.gov/tn/myplate.
|
|
We have several severe nut allergies in our building. If your child is in a nut-free classroom, please do not send any food containing nuts for lunch or snack. Thanks for helping us keep Playday a fun and safe place for every child! |
|
|
Please remember school starts at 9:00 each day. Thank you for being punctual... we love seeing all of our friends' smiling faces each morning! |
|
Thank you for supporting us as we navigate the best way to keep us all safe and healthy! If you have any questions about our enhanced protocol, please contact the office. |
