"Building Strong Foundations for Lifetime of Learning"
A message from Holly Bevilacqua, COO
With summer underway and the smell of sunscreen filling the halls, we are excited for the next month ahead. The sun is finally shining! Our Camps have kicked off the summer with a bang and have lots of upcoming adventures to keep them busy.
In the rest of the center, each of our classrooms have worked hard to incorporate some really neat and fun activities for their students. To stay abreast of upcoming activities please refer to the Monthly Calendars or the Carelot website. We would love to have you join us for a planned activity. Or, feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you would like to just come visit or even share a talent with the children.
Camp: Please be sure to wear your colored camp t-shirts for any field trips! We love family chaperones too! If you would like to join us on any trips, feel free to let us know on your child’s permission slips.
Food for thought!

Great idea!
Summer tips and reminders
We are always looking for parent/family volunteers. Come and share a favorite story, make a snack or craft with the children, or just come and spend time in your child’s classroom!
When going on vacation this summer please inform the teachers of the days you will be out so they can plan accordingly. Thank you!
Please remember to call the center by 9:00 am if your child will be absent or in late. This helps us plan our staffing for the day. Thank you!
Water play has officially begun in our centers. The children really look forward to these days so please make sure your child has a complete set of water play clothes here so everyone can participate. This includes a bathing suit/extra clothes, water shoes, & a towel. We do water play at least a couple of times during the week as part of our gross motor/sensory curriculum! Don’t forget sunscreen! Paba Free and SPF of 15 or higher please! Water play occurs on various days depending on the weekly schedule and weather so please have your child’s water play items at school each week!
