Sometimes you just need to have beach ball dance party!

Thank you to all our parents who made our party day so yummy!

Enrollment Packets Are Ready!

We are excited to share that enrollment paperwork for both returning and newly enrolled students is now available!

Open House
📅 Thursday, August 27
🕠 5:30–7:00 p.m.

During the week of August 24, your child's teacher will give you a call to introduce themselves and schedule your home visit.

Important Reminder:
All enrollment paperwork must be completed and reviewed by administration before your child may enter their classroom on the first day of school.

To help make the first day run as smoothly as possible, enrollment packets are available now so families can complete them ahead of time. You may obtain your packet in any of the following ways:

Pick up a packet at the Center now through August 7, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
Request that a packet be emailed to you so you can print and complete it at home.
Receive a packet during your home visit.
Pick one up at Open House.

By making the paperwork available early, we hope to avoid checking nearly 100 enrollment packets on the morning of the first day of school and ensure a smooth start for everyone.

If you have any questions or would like your enrollment packet emailed to you, please contact the Center at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing everyone soon and kicking off another wonderful school year!
