Director's Corner

Cooler temperatures and a feeling of fall are in the air! Take advantage of these wonderful fall days to take the family or the children in your care on picnics, outdoor nature hikes, fall festivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and farmers' markets!!

Going to these events can be a wonderful learning experience and are often free or of very little cost.

Also, with October comes Trick or Treating. Here are a few safety tips:

Top 5 Tips for an Honestly Safe Halloween

• Keep Toxins Out of Costumes. It all starts when we get our little ones dressed.

• Plan Your Night Ahead.

• Wear Bright Colors and/or Add Reflective Tape to Costumes.

• Accompany Small Children All the Way to the Doors.

• Always Check Candy Before Eating It.

Your children are more than welcome to wear their Halloween costume to school on Friday, October 29th.
