Dear Parents and Friends,
I hope that you enjoyed our shared celebration of the Week of the Young Child
as much as the center staff did! If you haven’t already taken time going
up or down the stairs to read the “stars” and “hearts”,
please pause to read a few. It is touching to see a common theme: parents
want their children to grow up to be happy and healthy. Not one parent who
responded mentioned material success! Families love this Center because of
the staff, the friends their child makes, and our playground.
Catonsville Presbyterian Church has asked us to distribute and collect a survey
that will give them important information about the relationship of the church
and its child care center with the community. Please take a minute to fill
out and return your survey.
Our spring fundraiser was a huge success! We made over $3000 selling Hadley
Farms cinnamon buns and Yankee Candles. The profit will be devoted to teacher
appreciation projects and discretionary spending for the Center.
Catonsville Presbyterian Church will hold its annual Strawberry Festival on
June 7th. There is a large section of the festival devoted to children’s
games. For the first time, the Child Care Center is hoping to recruit all
needed volunteers for the children’s activities. Can you help us out
by volunteering some time in the Kidz Zone? See Nancy, Heather, or Lauren
to sign up. Thank you!
Peace,
Nancy J. Wagner
Dear Parents,
May is always such a beautiful month; the weather finally warms up and all
the trees are in bloom. Nancy and I have been busy planning our upcoming summer
camp… it’s going to be fun! The Center’s end of the year
picnic will be June 12th and we are closed on June 13th to allow teachers
to prepare for summer camp. The summer program starts on June 16th for Preschool
and School Age. We will have a summer calendar of events and trips available
in June. Please feel free to stop by my office downstairs anytime if you have
any questions or concerns.
Sincerely, Heather German
Tuition is due on the first of each month, and is considered late after the
10th. You will receive a late payment charge of $35 after the tenth of the
month. June tuition will be pro-rated and statements will be out towards the

half of Summer Camp payments will be due on June 16, and the second half will

Just a reminder to all parents… our Summer Camp will begin for Preschool and School Age children on June 16. If you have not registered for Camp, you must do so immediately, as the last day for this Fall school year is Thursday, June 12. Our Fall 2008-09 school year will begin on August 25 and ALL children must be registered for this program as well. Please see Lauren in the office if you have any questions about this registration process.
We will be sending out confirmation letters for our Summer and Fall programs within the next few weeks. You will be getting more detailed information about the Fall program from your child’s teacher as the school year grows closer.
Please be sure your child has a seasonally appropriate change of clothes
in the classroom. Accidents, spills, and messes can happen anytime and we
want to be prepared!
