E-News from TLC Pre-School
We have been enjoying winter! The children have been busy building all kinds of snow men. They also read White Snow Bright Snow, The Snowy Day and Snowballs. Thanks to our hard working children and their parents our Snowballs to Snowmen wall is starting to grow and looking pretty creative!

A whole week was spent learning about Martin Luther King during which we read The Crayon Box That Talked and Friends for All Seasons and made peace doves. After, the children were segregated by the colors of their shirts (certain color shirt wearers were not allowed to play in certain centers). While they didn't like the shirt color segregation experiment, they learned a good lesson about segregation. They learned that they should all be friends. We all want to play together no matter what the color of our shirt is, the color of our skin, hair or eyes.

The children are still practicing Mat Man! He teaches our children body awareness-body parts, body functions, drawing skills-placing body parts correctly, sequencing, and organization, socialization-participation, following directions, contributing, taking turns, and number awareness by counting body parts. Inside music and games with Me & My Bean Bag  are really enjoyable. They develop gross motor skills, listening skills and following directions.
 
This month we will be talking about Valentine's Day and friendship.
 
Happy January Birthdays!

February Recess Dates Change

Due to the many school cancellations, the Trumbull Board of Education has voted to use 4 days of February vacation to make up days lost.  School will be in session Tuesday, February 22nd - Friday, February 25th.

 

Monday, February 21st (President's Day) will remain a Holiday and a Sign-Up Day for TLC. Due to the change in the recess week, we have extended the deadline to sign your child up for this day to Friday, February 11th. Sign-up is online only.

Emails for the February 21st sign-up day were mailed out to all parents on Friday, February 4th. Please email [email protected] if you did not receive the sign-up email. Remember, you must be on TLC's email list and have chosen a TLC Center to receive any emails.

A Call for TLC Board Members

TLC is growing everyday, and we are in need of current parents or Trumbull residents who truly see the need for TLC to continue developing its mission of providing quality childcare to Trumbull's working parents.

 

Have you been thinking of taking a more active role in your community?  Here is your opportunity. TLC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and all parents are welcome to become involved in the program by becoming members of the Board.  Parent representation and input are vital to TLC's continued success.  It's a great way to help shape the future of the program and share in managing TLC's growth.

 

The Board of Directors meets once a month at 6:30 pm, at our Fun Zone Center, located behind Daniels Farm Elementary School, at 720 Daniels Farm Road. 


Nominations for next year's new Board Members are being accepted now. If you are interested, please contact TLC's Executive Director, Ken McCabe, at the TLC office, (203)452-9626, or by email: [email protected] for more information.  You can also contact a current Board Member for all the details or  attend a TLC Board Meeting for more information.
