Reminders: Please make sure to bring one snack per day for your child and label it with their name on the snack.  If your child is going to After Care please send an additional snack.  Your child will also need to bring a water bottle with their name on it.  Other things to bring are a crib sheet and a small blanket.  Please make sure you put your child’s name on all items.  You will also need to bring a change of clothes and socks just in case your child has an accident or gets messy.  You can put these clothes in a gallon size bag and leave them in their blue bag.  Once again please make sure to put their name on all their belongings. 
 
Thank you so much for entrusting me with your sweet children.
 

Regards,

Mrs. Ahn
