We are a New York State Licensed facility in a residential neighborhood, with cheerful, large, air-conditioned classrooms and a fenced, safe outdoor playground. Our curriculum is developmental and age-appropriate, promoting growth, social skills, language and self-esteem, and of course, providing lots of fun and creativity in the process! Our nurturing and caring staff is professional and qualified, and participate in on-going training in the field of early education.

Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe we’re in our last full month of school. It’s amazing how quickly time goes by. I want to thank all of the parents who helped during our book sale. I received a lot of positive feedback on the new local company that we used, Main Street Books in White Plains, and the sale was very successful. Thank you to everyone who purchased books and helped support the school.
We have some upcoming events going on in May. Our Mother’s Day Teas will be held upstairs on Thursday, May 10th and Friday, May 11th. They will be held at 9:00am and 12:15pm, after drop-off, both days. The children will be baking for the teas and there will be some fundraising items to be raffled off. Please feel free to bring grandmas, aunts, nannies, etc.
Our annual fundraiser will take place on Friday, May 18th at Fogarty’s in Bronxville. Our fundraising committee, and in particular Loretta Austin, has been working so very hard putting it all together. Last year’s fundraiser was also held at Fogarty’s and it was wonderful. It’s a fun place and everyone had a great time. We appreciated everyone’s support for the school and their generosity. Please try to attend this year. It’s a great way to meet other families and win some terrific prizes not to mention making Loretta and her team very happy. Tickets cost $45 and include dinner, drinks and dessert. If you need more information or would like to purchase a ticket, please stop by the office or email Loretta at laustin@pbalawyers.com. I promise you it will be a fun night.
The last day of school for Tues/Thurs children will be Tuesday, June 5th. For Mon/Wed/Fri and 5-day children, it is Wednesday, June 6th. The last day for both Extended Day programs is also Wednesday, June 6th. Graduation for the 4’s takes place on Thursday, June 7th. The ceremony for the morning 4’s will begin at 9:30am and at 12:45pm for the afternoon 4’s. It will take place upstairs in the church and following the ceremonies parents are invited down to the classroom for parties. FYI-one of the fundraiser raffle prizes is front row seats for the graduation ceremony.
Camp begins on Monday, June 11th and runs through Friday, July 27th. It will take place in the 3’s and 4’s classrooms and is from 9:00-12:00pm. If you need a registration form, please let me know. There are some spots available. If there is enough interest, Happy Feet Soccer Program will be offering a class on Tuesdays immediately after camp from 12:00-12:30. Please look for information in your child’s mailbox.
Reminder: we are closed for Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 25th & Monday, May 28th.
Enrollment packets for the 2012-2013 school year will be mailed out in June.
Thanks for a great year.
