If your child wants to bring Valentines for his or her classmates, you just need to put your own childs name on each card no need to write each classmates name on the cards. Pre-K students should try to write their own names on their cards. Its good practice!

Avoid bringing germs into the center: Please use hand sanitizer (located at each sign-in table) or wash your hands in the bathroom when you drop off or pick up. Thank you!

SANITIZER IS FOR ADULT USE ONLY NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN!!

Hip hip hooray! Its100 days


Days and weeks of hard work, piles of papers, hours of playtime all add up to 100 days of school hooray! The Pre-K classes will mark 100 days of school on Friday, Feb. 8 with some special activities. Throughout the week, the Pre -K kids will be counting and measuring to 100. They will have a little extra fun on Friday, in honor of 100 days of school. Help your Pre-K student celebrate 100 days of school each child should count out 100 of something and bring it to school. Legos, Cheerios, toy cars, blocks, crayons, socks, rubber bands, paper clips, raisins, or any smallish item would be a good choice. Please do NOT bring 100 elephants to school!!!

Baby, its cold outside! Please send out er wear


Pre-K and preschool students need to have appropriate outer wear for playing outside. Please make sure your child has a coat, snowpants, boots, mittens and a hat every day. We recommend packing the snow gear in a reusable shopping tote, making it easy for you to bring it back and forth from home to school. Pre-K students find it especially helpful to have their gear in a tote because we bring it to the gym with us at lunchtime. We want to play outside in the snow, so please pack snow gear!!

Put karma to work for you!


example, your co-workers dont make you unhappy. How you choose to react to your coworkers can cause you to feel happy or unhappy. The bottom line is, no one can make you unhappy. You can allow unpleasant situations to bring you down, or you can focus on the positives. Dig down deep and find the happiness within your own soul if you can do that, youll be feeling good!

Dont go searching for happiness find happiness within yourself. Other people are not responsible for your own happiness. For

Two special thank yous!


We love and appreciate our families here at Great Lakes Child Development Center, and its nice to know they appreciate GLCDC right back. Thank you to the Jeakle family for donating a refrigerator/ freezer for use in the gym. Our old fridge quit working, and were very grateful to have a new one. Thank you to the Tevault family for donating $50, which will be used to help renovate Rooms 18 and 20. They will be our designated Romper Rooms where the kids can romp and play and practice their large-motor skills.
