Kindness Tree If you happen to be in Downtown Greenville, be sure to check out our Kindness Tree at the Hyatt! The children of Greenview Child Development Center have created ornaments and decorations to share what kindness means to them with the entire Greenville Community. Thank you Greenview! | Music Man Comes to Town Every 6 weeks the Music Man visits each school. This is a special time where the children get to sing and dance and be exposed to musical education designed for their age level. The children absolutely LOVE it when the Music Man comes to town! | Dance Our first Centers, NW Crescent and Golden Strip CDCs, are completing a 6-week session with the Greenville County Dance Outreach Program. Ms. Rebecca, the Dance Instructor, comes once a week to lead the children in various dance activities that develop strength, flexibility and their ability to follow directions. We look forward to Dunbar starting their 6-week session when we come back from Winter Break. The Dance Outreach Program will get to all 5 centers by the end of the school year so all our children will have this wonderful opportunity. |

| Manner of the MonthAnswering someone when they ask you a question can be VERY difficult for young children, but a typical expectation for most social situations. This month we will be focusing on helping our children to learn the importance of responding to others when they ask a question whether verbally OR non-verbally. With the holidays this time of year, your child will likely encounter new and different people that will be asking them lots of questions. This is a great time to encourage your child to answer questions and to practice this important skill. | Mark Your CalendarsJust a reminder that December ends with a long break from school: Friday, December 16: District Half-Day Monday, December 19-Monday, January 2: No School We will all return to school on Tuesday, January 3.
