Wheels Day

This Wednesday, July 11th, is Wheels Day! Preschool students can bring a helmet to wear and a bike or scooter to ride!

Preschool Water Play

All preschool students are encouraged to bring a swimsuit and a pair of sandals or water socks to keep at school during the week. During these warm summer days, we would like to be able to get out the sprinkler on the playground and play in the water to keep cool and have some extra fun! If you are not able to bring an extra swimsuit, you can just make sure that your child has an extra set of summer clothing on hand to change into after getting wet. 


Any extra clothing or swimsuits can be stored in your child's cubby or in our extra clothing cupboards (ask a teacher to show you where these are). Please make sure that everything is clearly labeled with your child's name.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Sunshine School! 

Just a final reminder, Sunshine School will be CLOSED on Wednesday, July 4th.

Safety Reminder

Just a reminder, please do NOT open the front door for other people, and please do not allow your children to do so either. For the safety of all of the children in our care, staff need to be aware of who is in the building at all times.


Even if you recognize other parents, please do not let them into the building.


Thank you!

Infants

We have a new student who began in June. Welcome, Micah!

This last month, Everett has started crawling! Also, we are celebrating Kai's 1st birthday this month on July 14th. Happy birthday, Kai!

You may notice that the Infant Room is looking a bit incomplete at this point. We have plans to finish painting and add a full-wall Peter Rabbit mural, and we will be continuing that process in July. Thank you for your patience as we continue this project! We are excited to see it all come together!

Recently, we have been enjoying the beautiful summer weather as much as possible! We have been taking the babies outside for walks as often as we can, and some of the older babies have been visiting the Wobblers for outside play. 

Wobblers

We have a new student who began in July. Welcome, Owen!

We are also celebrating Maggie's birthday this month on the 23rd. Happy birthday, Maggie!

This month, the Wobblers will be planting sunflowers so that they can watch them grow throughout the summer. Also, on hot days, the Wobblers will be enjoying some water fun in the afternoons. If you would like, you are welcome to bring an extra set of clothing, and we would be happy to change your child into dry clothing after water play. If not, we are happy to let your child enjoy the water and then air dry in the warm weather.

This summer and into the fall, the church will begin a remodeling project that will affect our small outdoor playground and our gym area. As a result, the Wobblers will be spending a lot of their outside time on the main playground where they can enjoy the sandbox, swings, slides, and lots of room to run! We will keep you updated as this remodeling project takes place.
