What a fun and exciting time of year! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, good food, and wonderful memories.
The children have so much to look forward to at TLC. Each center has their own plans to celebrate this time of year including holiday parties. Please be sure to read the information at the parent tables regarding these events and volunteer opportunities.
There are many sign-up days planned, so please review the calendar in this E-news as well as the important dates article below. This information will help you keep track of the dates email invitations are sent out for the sign-up days as well as the last date to register (closing dates).
Please send your children to TLC prepared for cold, chilly and perhaps snowy weather. It might be warmer during the day, but by the time the children come to afternoon TLC, it can be quite cold outside. They need to bring hats, coats, mittens, scarves and boots when there is snow on the ground.

E-NEWS FROM MIDDLEBROOK
| |
Greetings from TLC Middlebrook! We hope that everyone has continued to have a great year! The weather outside has gotten very cold very fast, and the children are having a great time!
This month the after-school children really enjoyed roller skating in theschool's gymn. They raced around with their friends on their skates and the ones that were new to roller skating had a great time too! Roller skating is something that most of the children look forward to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The children also made a few Thanksgiving themed crafts to decorate our room. They also enjoyed playing with the centers whiteboards and dry erase markers.
The before-school children had a great time playing with the huge assortment of toys and games in our centers. They love competing against each other in games such as checkers, battleship, and hullabaloo.The children also made Thanksgiving and fall themed crafts: paper plate pilgrims and handprint acorns.
In December there are even more things planned! The children in both programs will be making lots of winter and holiday themed crafts to decorate our room with. They can also look forward to more roller skating days.
Parents, there will be an early dismissal on December 23rd. The children will be dismissed from school around 12:45pm and we will be open until 6pm.During the week of the Christmas,there will be our huge Gingerbread House event and a Holiday Party. Please keep an eye on the parent table for how you can contribute if possible!
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me by phone: 203-459-8088 or by email: middlebrook@tlctrumbull.com.

TLC EARLY DISMISSAL POLICIES
| |
TLC Early Dismissal Policy
It is extremely important that you fill out and return the TLC Early Dismissal Form so we know the plan for your child/children if we should close due to inclement weather or any other emergency. Please make sure this plan coincides exactly with the plan you have in place with your child's school. The TLC Early Dismissal Form is available by clicking on the link above or at our website under " Forms."
Weather Emergency Information
This information can be found on these websites, TV and radio stations:
- www.tlctrumbull.com
- Radio - WICC (AM 60), STAR (FM 99.9) or WEBE (FM 108)
- Television - WTNH/WCTX 59 Channel 8, WFSB Hartford Channel 3 or WVIT/NBC 30 Channel 30
- E-Mail Notification - Register for this service by logging onto www.ctweather.com
School Closed
When the Superintendent of Schools closes school for snow or for any reason, TLC will also be closed. Please choose one of the above public services to obtain information on TLC and school closings. The safety of our children and staff is our paramount concern. TLC may not open on Sign-Up Days in the event of bad weather; again please listen to WICC radio or WTIC Channel 30 TV for closing information. Generally, if local schools, such as Shelton or Monroe, are closed, Trumbull may also be closed.
Delayed Opening
When school opening is delayed, TLC centers will also be delayed with the exception to the part-time morning Preschool that would be cancelled. Please choose one of the above public services to obtain information regarding delayed openings. If school is delayed 90 minutes, TLC will open 90 minutes later, 8:30 am instead of 7:00 am. (Only children who are normally BEFORE SCHOOL enrollees can be dropped off at TLC at 8:30 am. All other children must wait until school opens at 10:05 am before being dropped off.) The school will be locked until this time, and no access is possible to the TLC room. Children must never be left in the TLC room without a TLC staff member present. Drop-ins are not allowed on delayed openings.
Unplanned Early Dismissal
If the Superintendent decides to close school early due to causes such as inclement weather conditions, TLC Centers and the Preschool will also close. An Unplanned Early Dismissal is a non-scheduled event and should not be confused with a Planned Early Dismissal.
When school dismisses early, children who regularly attend TLC Centers will be directed to go to TLC Centers as usual, but need to be picked up within two hours of school closing. Children assigned to the Fun Zone will bused to the TLC Fun Zone Center or must be picked up from their home school location at the time of dismissal. In the event of any early dismissal, the part-time afternoon Preschool will be cancelled.
Parents who may not work locally and/or believe they will have difficulty picking up their child within this two-hour period should identify a designated local person to pick up their child. This person should be listed in our TLC files as the authorized designee. In some instances, the school administration may not close school early, but worsening weather conditions may force the TLC administration to close TLC Centers and the Preschool before the regular 6:00 PM time. Sometimes the weather where you work may not seem to warrant TLC closing early, but please understand that we do not make this decision lightly. Our primary concern is for the safety of our children, staff and parents. All children must be picked up no later than two hours after TLC's decision to close. Ratios will be maintained at all times, and two staff will remain until all children are picked up. Drop-ins are not allowed on unplanned early dismissal days.
***In all circumstances, a parent or designated alternate will be responsible for being aware of school and/or TLC time changes and are expected to pick up your child in the appropriate period. If a parent is unable to pick up their child themselves, please make arrangements to have an alternate contact do so.
Please refer to your Parent Handbook for additional information. If you have any questions please contact the TLC Office at 203-452-9626.
