Scholastic Book Orders

I have started the new year with a new program through Scholastic Book Company. Each month I will send home a book catalog that will have a wide assortment of educational resources and books for you to order from ranging in price from $1.00-$5.00. If you are interested in purchasing items from the catalog then follow these simple steps:
1. - turn in order form on the back of the catalog with the items checked that you are ordering by the due date

2. - send in a check payable to Scholastic Book Company for the total amount due for items you are ordering by the due date

3. - I will place the order through Scholastic Book Company and send your order home with your child once the order has arrived in a couple of weeks.

By following these simple steps you will not only help your child grow educationally but you will be helping Mrs. Amber's Daycare earn points to use for FREE curriculum resources and books for our story times!

Please let me know if you have any questions. The first catalog will be sent home on Jan. 22!!!!

Just a few reminders as we begin a new calendar year:

Operating Hours are Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. Late fees occur at 5:01 pm at the rate of $1.00 per minute and are due in CASH by the next business day. Please make sure that all designated family members and/or friends who will be picking up your child knows the operating hours and are here by the close of business as the late fees will be charged to you, the parents.

Breakfast is served at 7:30 am each morning. If your child will be late or not in attendance, a courtesy call is required by 7:30 to inform me. Breakfast will not be served after 745 am to any late arrivals.

Morning curriculum begins at 8 am.

We will continue to have regularly scheduled outdoor playtime during the winter months. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for both indoor and outdoor play. Tennis shoes and coats are required for all children.
