There is a lot of excitement around the Center lately! On Thursday we picked up our new bus that we received through a grant from the MountainHeart Community Services. This was the second grant we received from this organization- the first was used to pay off the remainder of the first bus we purchased. The children are very excited that they will all be transported using the new buses, and the Center is very excited to be in compliance with new Department of Transportation guidelines well ahead of the 2012 deadline.
We also received word last week that we were given another grant through the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation to enhance the playground! The grant, for $8,450, will be used to install an outdoor water fountain, purchase a storage shed, and make other updates.

Labor Day and September Reminders!
Just a reminder for all parents that the Center will be CLOSED on Monday, September 6th in observance of Labor Day!
For parents of children in the Threes Room (Mrs. Tiffany's and Mrs. Haley's Giraffes), please remember to bring in a family snapshot on Thursday, September 2nd! Also, once a week this class will be asked to dress in the color that they are learning about that week. On September 8th, please wear red; on September 15th, wear blue; and on September 22nd, wear yellow! On Friday, September 17th the Giraffes will be having a pajama party- everyone is asked to wear their PJs and bring in a snack to share with their class.
For Pre-K parents, please note that Kanawha County Schools Pre-K does not meet on Fridays. Daycare still meets for those children who are enrolled in that program. Additionally, Pre-K will not meet on Thursday, September 2nd due to a KCS Early Out. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Dana!
Schoolers parents, please remember to call in advance if your child will not be riding the van to the center after school. Parents who do not call will be charged $10.00 for every no-call no-show on the van.
All students should be picked up promptly by 6:00 p.m. every day. Parents will be charged $1.00 per minute per child if students are picked up past this time.
The security system cameras are now up and running for all locations and the new doors have been installed! We are currently working on painting the doors and the security and door companies are in the process of completing the installation of all components. The card entry system should be operational in the next couple of weeks and when this occurs, each family will receive more information about how the system will work.
We are looking forward to a great fall! If you have any questions or concerns, please see Ms. Bonnie or your child's teacher!
