Early Beginnings Resource Center (EBRC)

Please come by and check out our resource center.  We have great materials and games to help children with counting skills and letter recognition.  You can keep the materials you check out for up to two weeks!!! Many of the items are in the classrooms as well, so the children are familiar with them.  Please do not hesitate to ask us any questions about our resource center.  We would love to help you and your child continue learning at home.

Just a Few Everyday Reminders
  
Attendance
Send a written note/excuse to the office if your child is absent and it must be submitted no later than 3 days upon return to campus to be considered excused. Students are allowed 3 parental notes per semester.
 

 

 

 

No Cell Phones 

In order to better assist you and to spend quality time with your child while in the building, please refrain from cell phone use.

 

 

Nap-time Blankets 

Teachers send home blankets every Friday.  Please wash them and return them on Monday.



Change of Clothes
Please remember to send a seasonally appropriate change of clothes for your child to keep in their cubby in case of any accident that may occur.


Flip-Flops
Please let your children refrain from wearing flip-flops, as there is a safety concern for children to wear them at ECEC.
