PCU Greetings from
Miss Tracey & Baby Joseph
Miss Tracey cuts back a bit on marketing efforts, but keeps up her full teaching schedule this past winter & spring.
THANK YOU for your continued helping us get the word out about our amazing programs!!

Greetings Parent Child Ü families,
How time flies!! We have had a very busy 2010 here at PCU and the Kretzer household. My Joseph just turned 5 months old, Katie May is now 6.5 (my early reader & stimulus for this company) and Audrey is 4 "and a quarter." I kept up a full teaching schedule this winter and spring - in fact, we have 3 weeks left of many of our spring classes! Our summer term starts THIS week at Falls Church and in a few weeks in Arlington. As always, please keep us in mind for Birthday Party/Family Reunion Entertainment for the kids and Teacher Trainers for your child care agency, or school.
My personal PCU schedule is not as packed this summer, since we thought we were remodeling the PCU "office" and decided not to, too late to be printed in the course booklets, but we are happy to come out to your pre-organized group! I will also be busy marketing the fabulous Conscious Discipline teacher training sessions, parenting classes, and I Love You Rituals parent-child enrichment class. Please help me if you can!
Also, please help us get the word out that we have received permission to teach babies now BIRTH - age 2 for our Signing Smart classes. Although it is not expected or common for babies to sign back younger than 5 months-old... it is possible as I have learned with my Audrey 4 years-ago and now my Joseph. Check our our Parent Child U link on You Tube to see for yourself and share with friends!
Here's to seeing you in class!
