March Newsletter
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Keep an eye out to see if our lucky Leprechaun has paid us a special visit. The Clubhouse classroom will be busy designing special traps to try and catch one.
We hoped everyone enjoyed their February vacation week. We saw quite a few families on vacation. We hope you were somewhere warm avoiding the chilly weather we had here.
Melissa has emailed out our annual re-registration packets. If you have not received one, please let us know. Please fill out and sign all the necessary areas. Packets need to be returned by March 16th. We need this information to plan our 2020-2021 school year. If we do not hear from your family, we will begin our process of enrolling children from our waiting list. We understand families have requested changes to their summer schedule. Now, we are full and cannot accept any of these changes until we have all re-registrations in.
There have been quite a few illnesses reported in the center. The teachers and assistants have been working hard washing toys and sanitizing all other areas. Please make sure to take your child’s sleeping bag home regularly to be washed. If you have any questions about our health policies, please feel free to ask.
We cannot wait for spring and the warm weather to arrive. We are enjoying outdoor play without all the snow gear whenever we can. With the thaw coming the play yard can get muddy so rain boot or snow boots may still be needed.
Little Rascals
The Little Rascals had a lovely February celebrating Valentine’s day with our friends. We will be beginning March by exploring the very silly world of Dr. Seuss and all his crazy creatures. Next up will be trying to catch Leprechauns and see what kind of shenanigans they cause in our school.
We will be celebrating the start of Spring this month with many flowers and all our friends that live in the pond. March will wrap up with the Little Rascals learning all about what foods are healthy and which should only be treats during our lesson on nutrition.
The weather is constantly changing so please be sure your child has weather, age-appropriate clothes every day. Children should also have a reusable water bottle daily. Please label everything.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please come speak to us.
Thank you,
Christine & Kassidy

Busy Bees
Time to try and catch some leprechauns! This month we will build some traps to do our best to catch one of those feisty green men who always mess up our classroom. Here’s what other topics we will cover:
- Silly Dr. Seuss
- Spring has sprung
- Nutrition
- S, t, u
- 15, 16
- Green
- Diamond
Please send your child to school with a water bottle every day. They also need a change of clothes because accidents happen. If your child wears pull-ups at naptime, please send them in if we leave a note for you. We must borrow other people’s pull-ups if you do not send them in. We do not have any extra pull-ups. As always let us know if you have any concerns.

Small Fries
Welcome, March! We are so excited to have had a few nice days in the month of February. It is so nice to get some outside time for some fresh air. We got to celebrate with Aiden and eat some yummy cupcakes as he turned two! We also welcome our new friend Jeremy into our room. We had a great transition from the baby room. February, we got to make so many love crafts and talked about everybody that we love. We decorated cookies for our Valentine’s Day party and played with heart-shaped balloons as we danced to love music. At the end of the month, we learned all about brushing her teeth and taking care of them. We talked about food that’s good for our teeth and food that make our teeth sad. We even got to practice brushing and flossing on fake teeth.
We have so much in store for the month of March. Hoping for some warmer weather to come so we can enjoy more outside time. Please pay close attention to your child’s daily sheets. We often have important information about your child’s needs. The month of March is going to be so fun here and small fries! As always feel free to come to Sam or Ashley with any questions or concerns.
This month’s themes:
- Silly Dr. Seuss
- Lucky leprechauns
- Spring has sprung
- Mickey Mouse clubhouse

Krusaders
This past month we had fun learning about countries around the world. We tried new foods and talked with another preschool class in Australia. We celebrated Valentine’s day with lots of hearts and learned ways to keep our hearts healthy. Then we learned about past presidents and dental health. We reviewed letters P, Q, and, R as well as introduce site words an, at, and as.
This month’s themes are Silly Dr. Seuss, Lucky Leprechauns, Spring/Pond life, and Nutrition. Our letter are S, T, and, U. The sight words we will be introducing are am, are, and be.
We have had some illnesses going around this month and are asking for new toothbrushes so we can throw the old ones away.

Happy March Little Tykes!
We are going to be learning about Dr. Seuss this month, which means lots and lots of books! We will also be exploring the themes of springtime and nutrition, which will include tons of sensory play and fun snacks. We can’t forget to keep a lookout for the leprechaun visit this St. Patrick’s Day!
As the weather warms up, we will be going for walks and playing out on the back deck more. It is still a little chilly so please make sure that your child has the appropriate outside gear. For our older babies, please make sure they have a pair of shoes on hand!
Thank you,
Gabby & Lisa 🙂

Clubhouse
The clubhouse had a fun-filled February! We enjoyed traveling around the world and creating art from different cultures, along with lots of Valentine’s Day crafts and activities! Our Vacation week was full of presidents and collaborative art. This past week, we designed our names with doodles and lots of colors. Coming up in March, we will hopefully be able to get outside more since it is staying lighter later! An exciting sign that summer is coming! As it turns to spring, we will create some colorful spring crafts, along with learning about Nutrition and healthy bodies! Please remember to continue to send weather appropriate clothes and shoes as the weather starts to change. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
Have a magnificent March!

Tiny Tots
Happy March everyone! It’s almost spring and the Tiny Tots have a very busy month ahead of them while hoping for warmer weather and more outside playtime. We wish to welcome some new friends this month! We are very excited to have fun with and get to know Andrew and Keegan!
We will begin our month by celebrating silly Dr. Seuss’ birthday with some green eggs and ham and reading many of his wonderful stories.
Our Lucky Leprechauns unit will have us watching out for mischievous little leprechauns who are known to play lots of silly tricks around TLC for St. Patrick’s Day. We will create lots of fun Irish themed artwork to decorate our classroom, learn about Ireland and dance to some fun Irish music.
Next, we will talk about nutrition and keeping our bodies healthy. We will learn about the food groups and make lots of healthy snacks.
Finally, we will be celebrating the beginning of spring and learn about pond life, getting to know the plants and animals who will emerge as the spring progresses.
The letters we will be focusing on are S, T & U. The color is green, and the shape is diamond
Think warm thoughts and have a wonderful month!
