There will be a sign up sheet by the sign in/out computer for snacks. You may bring Valentines cards for your children's class and class lists will be made available to you by the sign in/out computeras well. Not sure if you noticed the sign on the door about the computer parenting classes we are offering. It offers valuable information on many struggles parents may have with their little ones. We want to remind you that the first family to complete the first 5 lessons will get a $50 Visa gift card! Please make sure you have checked your mailbox to receive the emergency card for you to update and turn in to the front office. We want to make sure that all contact information that we have for parents is correct. Thank you for your cooperation. We will begin sending notices home in the form of a sticker on your childs shirt when they are in need of items, such as diapers and wipes. Please look for one when you pick your child up for the day!

2. Toddler News By: Ms. Leanna & Ms. Desirae The toddler room has really been doing well with the new changes. This month, we are wanting to start focusing on “About Me”, that is in the Adventures in Learning curriculum for toddlers. We will work on learning our name, our body parts, and about our feelings. We have put the toddlers names in various places around the room, including their chairs, coat hooks, and cubbies. We are really wanting to make a book of our toddlers, from birth to now, so your little ones can look at how they have grown. To do that, we need pictures of them. If you could please bring in photos of your tots, we would really appreciate it. 15 Ways to Make Your Little One Feel Special 1. Ask caring questions each day: How was your Day? Did you take a good nap? 2. Tell your child you love him at least once a day. 3. Wear whatever "jewels" your child makes or buys for you. Display his artwork; use his clay vases and bowls. 4. Get excited when your child tells you about his day or latest accomplishment. Nodding your head is not enough. 5. Request a "kid fix" (a hefty hug and kiss) whenever you feel the need, and let your child know it makes you feel better. 6. If you're out for the evening, call in a goodnight kiss and promise an in-person one as soon as you return. 7. Sing while she plays; play while she sings or dances. Duets are very supportive, often memorable, and usually hilarious. 8. Use the mail to surprise your child with a comic book, funny card or fancy pencil. 9. Ask your child what was the best and worst part of his day -- every day. 10.Put a note in her lunch box that says, "I love you." 11. Keep a chair next to your desk so your child can visit or chat. 12. Ask about your child's friends regularly. 13. Prepare the grocery list together, and ask your child for dinner suggestions. 14. Compliment your child and let her overhear you complimenting her to someone else -- a relative, friend or neighbor. 15. Do something ridiculous: Chase your child through the house or start a pillow fight. Pink-E-Pie’s Play Palace, Inc. February 2014 Notes from Ms. Leanna Pink-E-Pie’s website is now up and going. Please take a few moments and visit us at pink-e-pie.com! We have been making some more changes around the center, such as painting. We hope you take a moment to look at the new colorful walls! Please remember to clock your child in and out everyday. This helps us keep track for billing and food servicing purposes. Please report any changes to addresses and or phone numbers for home, cell and work. Please use caution when pulling in and out of the front parking lot. Do not leave your vehicle running. Do not leave children un-attended in the vehicles. Thank you for your cooperation. Fun Game: How many candy hearts can you and your little one find on this newsletter? Preschool News By: Ms. Alex For the month of February, we will be working with Hello’s and Goodbyes in the Adventures in Learning curriculum.
