Thank You To Parents for a Great First Month
All of us at Kiddyland want to send a heart felt thank you to all
our parents. We sincerely appreciate your support in ensuring
your children adapt well to the preschool environment. A
special thank you to parents who have enrolled their child for
the first time. This can be a stressful time for both children
and parents and the support you have provided has been
critical to ensuring a great experience for your child. Thanks
again!

The Importance of Emergency Preparedness
Unfortunately, recent events such as earthquakes in Mexico and
China and hurricanes in Puerto Rico and mainland United States
remind us that Mother Nature can be unpredictable. Obviously
we hope incidents such as those described above don’t happen
here but it is important that we are prepared in the event
something like this should occur. This is why it is critical that
your children have an emergency pack available. A big thanks
to all parents who have provided the required materials. Our
teachers will continue to ask parents to provide these critical
items so that we can be as prepared as possible in the event of
an emergency. Thank you for your cooperation.

Other Important Reminders:
 As the fall weather arrives please be ready to provide your child with clothing suitable to the
weather (i.e. raincoat, boots, etc.).
 As well, as fall and winter approach your child may require a blanket that is more suitable for
seasonal temperatures.
 We ask parents to do their best to ensure their child arrives promptly in order to take full
advantage of the program and limit disturbances for other students.
Our Kiddyland staff hope that all families have a safe and enjoyable Mid-Autumn Festival and Thanksgiving!
