Dear CCP Families,
Some of you have asked about summer camp. We plan to have camp June 4-7 for Ladybugs, Ducks, and Whales that would like to come. (Frogs, sorry you will have to wait until next summer.) I will have more information for you approx. mid-February!
Many of you have said how much you appreciate the Conscious Discipline tidbits I share with you. I’m so glad! I can honestly say that Conscious Discipline has made such a difference in my life. It began as a way I interacted with children, but it has become much more! I have now internalized the strategies and the language of C. D. I use these skills professionally, but also personally in my life. Remember, “Your approach to discipline demonstrates conflict resolution for your children, and it teaches them how to get their needs met for the rest of their lives.” (Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline, p. 7) For more information, please go to www.consciousdiscipline.com and look at the free resources section..
Please remember that your February tuition is due by Feb. 5 at 9:00am to avoid a late fee. Thanks for paying your tuition on time.
Thank you for turning in your 24-25 applications. We will send an email by Feb. 6 with your class placements. We will do our best to give you your first choices, but in some cases (probably 3’s) may have to place your child in your second choice. We will try to move them to your first choice class as things shift around. Your 24-25 supply/equipment fees will be due by Feb. 15 ($225 for 2’s & 3’s; $250 for 4’s) Encourage friends and neighbors to hurry and register by January 31!
Teachers, our next staff meeting is Tues, Feb 6 at 12:30. Please be prepared to discuss Session 4 of Handling Upset.
Please Mark your February Calendar:
Preschool Valentine Dance - Feb. 9 - 6:00-7:30p - After thinking that we may have to skip the dance this year, our PAC members have jumped in to keep this favorite tradition alive!!
Pancakes and PJ’s - Feb. 12 (Ducks & MW classes) & 13 (Whales & TTH classes)at 10:00a. Your class parent rep will send a signup for you to help with this event
Dr. Becky Bailey tells us, “When you are upset, pivot. Say to yourself, ‘If I’m upset, I’m focusing on what I don’t want. Do I want more of this in my life?’ If the answer is no, breathe deeply. Then tell your child what TO DO and why.” (The “why” should use safety language as much as possible.)
Finally, I’m sorry to have been absent a couple days this week. I have been a bit “under the weather.” Thanks for your prayers and well wishes!
I wish you well,
Debbie
I wish you well,
