Parental Guidance
As part of our curriculum, we will be incorporating scissors in some of the upcoming activities. While we make every effort to ensure the safety of the children, we kindly ask that you remind your child of the importance of using scissors carefully. As needed, please closely supervise your child's use of scissors to ensure proper handling at all times.
Additionally, please note that there will be no material related to holiday celebrations in our classroom. All content will be age-appropriate and focused on providing engaging, educational experiences that are developmentally suitable for our little learners.
We are committed to creating a positive and enjoyable environment for every child, and we are excited about the upcoming activities. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
