Reminders for our Early Step Preschool Families:

🟠Chadwick Milledgeville: Open House/Meet the teacher night is this THURSDAY 8/13 from 4-6 at the Chadwick School. The First day of school is FRIDAY 8/14 :)

🟢West Carroll: Open House/Meet the teacher night is this THURSDAY 8/13 from 4-6 at the WC Primary School. The First day of school is FRIDAY 8/14 :)

🔵Eastland: Open House/Meet the teacher night is Monday 8/17 from 4-6 at Eastland Elementary. The First day of school is WEDNESDAY 8/19 :)

EVERYONE:
If you still have paperwork to submit or fill out, please be prepared to do that at open house. We will have support staff there to help.

Also bus times that have been given are approximate. We ask for your patience on Friday as staff navigates the routes🚌

Open house is from 4-6 but you do not need to plan to stay for the duration of this time. It will be an informal opportunity for kids to tour the classroom and meet teachers for the first time. Our staff are so excited to see returning students and meet new ones! It is going to be an amazing year at Early Step!

Message or call with any questions! Thanks!

Neural Nugget: Babies who are talked to frequently know about 300 more words by age 2 than babies who hear fewer words, giving them a stronger foundation for language and learning.

One of the best ways to support healthy brain development is through serve-and-return interactions: the back-and-forth of talking, playing, making faces, and responding to your baby's sounds and cues. These everyday moments help build the brain, one interaction at a time.
