HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful June! The children had so much fun learning about Fish, Frogs, Father’s Day, Plants, and Flag Day. We hope all of the dad’s had a wonderful Father’s Day. We look forward to a very fun and exciting July!
The End of Year Graduation was just amazing! The graduating children did a wonderful job and have grown so much this year! We are so proud of them! Your children have worked very hard this past year and have learned a tremendous amount.
We are sad to see the children leave and will greatly miss those who are taking the next step on to Kindergarten. We are excited for this next chapter in their life and the many new adventures! We would like to thank everyone for attending and being a part of a very special day.
Everyday at circle time we will be reviewing numbers, letters, 
colors, shapes and our daily songs, we will also be learning about the Fourth of July, Fish, Summer Fruits, Insects and the Beach. We will be doing many projects and crafts. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday!
Due to the Covid-19 Virus all staff are required to wear masks covering their nose and mouth. All high touch surfaces are sanitized multiple times daily and all door handles and knobs after each child or staff enters the area. Children and staff have their temperatures taken as they enter the building and have to attest that they are feeling healthy and to their knowledge have not been in contact with anyone who has tested positive with another person with Covid-19. We are following all directives from NYS and OCFS regarding Covid-19.
It is with great pleasure that Miss Dawn’s Child Care “Summer Camp” will run July and August. The children truly enjoy it!
