News You Can Use 9.26.2021

September 27, 2021 By Communications Coordinator

Hello Patti’s Families,

It is hard to believe it will be October on Friday and we are entering our 4th week at Patti’s!

We are wrapping up our transportation theme this week, then we will begin October with a week of Sports themed art and activities, before moving into Fall and, of course, closing October with a week of Halloween art, music, and stories. 

We are pleased and grateful to say that our classroom community is strong, and we are very close to our maximum enrollment.  After recent schedule changes we have 3 spaces left on Mondays, 2 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5 on Thursdays, and 3 on Fridays.  Before I enroll any additional families, I wanted to give our current families a chance to add or change days if desired. Please email me with any requests.

One of the favorite activities at Patti’s is the playdough table, which features homemade playdough with a variety of tools, molds, and toys.  We ask each family to make playdough at least once, and I have attached an initial playdough schedule starting next week. We need fresh playdough each week, so would love to have playdough delivered on Fridays or dropped off over the weekend (a red basket will be left by the door for drop-offs).  If your assigned week does not work, please try to swap with another family or email me at least a week ahead of time.

As a personal aside, I used to make a double or triple batch, both to have different colors, and to keep some at home.  Homemade playdough stored in a sealed tub and used by only one or two kids lasts an amazingly long time!

Thank you again for sending your little ones to join Patti’s. Michelle, Rosey, and I have been having so much fun getting to know them and seeing them bond with their peers and grow in confidence at Patti’s! It is wonderful to see their personalities blossom as they become comfortable in our classroom community.

Cheers,

Jennifer

affordable, convenient, part-time childcare

Patti’s Play Center provides a nurturing and well-supervised social environment where children are encouraged to develop new friendships and explore interests at their own pace. Offering part-time childcare programs for 2–4 year olds, Patti’s Play Center fills a unique niche. Patti’s is not a daycare or a preschool, but a structured play center designed to both prepare young children for their first preschool experience, and complement an older child’s preschool schedule.
