Hello CCP Family,
We are settling into our preschool routines! The children are becoming comfortable and confident with their friends and teachers. Everyone appears to know they are safe and loved here at CCP. We are surely on the way to becoming a school family, a process that can take about 4 to 6 weeks.
Thanks for joining us for coffee & cider yesterday and today. It’s fun to see you all visiting and getting to know each other.
Please remember to link your Harris Teeter VIC card to our school number 3558. You can do this on the website or at the store (you have to do it every year). It only takes a brief minute, and it supports the preschool without affecting your wallet.
Please remember your October tuition is due on Oct. 1. Please send or bring your payment early next week.
Safekeepers (teachers) - We have a staff meeting on Tuesday, September 30th at 12:30.

A Conscious Discipline moment - TWO POSITIVE CHOICES - “Giving two positive choice allows your child to comply with your wishes while also giving him the “last word.” (Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline, p. 101) Think what you want your child TO DO and then give 2 choices that can get that result. For example, you want your child to eat a green vegetable at dinner. You could say, “You may choose broccoli or green beans. Which sounds better to you?” Your child gets a vegetable AND feels empowered at the same time!
Enjoy this somewhat rainy weekend. Go out and stomp in some puddles and sing in the rain!
Peace,
Shelly
