SA change July 20th

Since Summer hasn't made an appearance yet and it is going to rain tomorrow, School Age will be going to the Old Country Buffet and Rollerskating.  Our trip to Jetty Island is canceled.
However, we have planned another Jetty Island trip on August 8th.  Let's pray we have summer weather by then.  All the kids and teachers too love Jetty Island.

No Aquatic Center July 22nd

Beginners Parents:

On our calendar it has us going to the Henry Moses Aquatic Center.  Unfortunately, we are not going, that is a mistake Janine made when finalizing the calendars.  Children's Village is renting a bounce house for the day.  We were going to rent a water slide, but if the weather doesn't cooperate, we will just rent a jumpy house.

Don't forget:  The Seahawks Rumble Tumble is this Thursday.  Parents are welcome to join us for lunch and exciting activities.

Summer Fees & Raffle

The winning raffle number is 6656130.  As of today, no one claimed the prize.  I will wait until Monday, June 6th and if the prize is not claimed, I will have another drawing.  Thankfully, I kept all the raffle tickets.  If you have the winning #, please bring your ticket to either Ms. Angelica or Ms. Janine.  Please don't give it to your child's teacher. 


Ms. Lindy will be out on medical leave from June 3rd-July9th.  Angelica will be working Lindy's hours and will be the supervisor on site in the morning.  I am back part-time from 2 to 6:30 p.m.  If you need to talk with me, please come upstairs to my office. 


Summer field trip fees will be billed on June 15th.  A correction to the previous posting is that the fee will be due by July 1st, not June 22nd as previously reported.  If your child will be attending part-time this summer, we will need to know your schedule as soon as possible.  We have many previous clients who wish to return to CVCC for our summer program, but we cannot guarantee space until everyone schedule is turned in. 


All the teachers are working hard on their calendars and they might be available by June 13th.  I know all the families are anxious to see what we have planned.  Our annual picnic is scheduled for Friday, June 24th.  Mark your calendars now, we want all our families attending. 


Restless for summer to begin and the weather to get warm,




Ms. Janine

Summer Programming

Dear Children Village Families:

We have sent off all our information to the National Accreditation Commission and we finally have time to concentrate on Summer.  Calendars will be finalized and ready for family pick-up on June 15th.  We will need requested items returned to the center by June 21st.  The Summer Program begins on June 22nd.  We have added some different themes for 2011 Summer Program at the Village, but also kept some oldies.  We will be doing the Drive-In this summer, so start working on those cars now.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, please see Lindy or Angelica for instruction.  Toddlers are welcome to make a car, but we do not guarantee they will participate in the Drive-In. Infants do not participate in the Drive-In.

Field trip fees will be the same as last year.  If your child is on DSHS through the summer, you will need to provide CVCC with the summer field trip fee.  DSHS has cut off all its funding for field trips, so in order for your child to participate in our summer full of fun, you will need to pay this fee.  To find out how to set up a payment plan or arrangements for your field trip fee, please see Janine. 

Field Trip Fees for 2011

Young Preschool Room: $50

Older Preschool Room: $100

Beginners: $150

School-Age: $200

All tuition payments must be current before enrolling in our Summer Program.  We have a wait list in Beginners and SA for the Summer.  If your tuition is not current and/or field trip fees not paid by the 21st of June, your child will not be able to start the Summer Program on June 22nd. 

Ms. Janine, Director, is out on a medical leave until Monday, June 6th.   If you need to contact her for any reason, please email her at davjan9@comcast.net.

The winner of the raffle was ticket # 6656130.  If that is your number bring it to Lindy or Angelica for verification. 

Parent Surveys Due Wed. May 11th by 6:30 p.m.

Anyone who has children or has worked with young children knows that one of their favorite questions is, why: Why is the sky blue? Why is the blanket soft? Why do we have to chew with our mouths closed? Why do you have a headache?


Adults often forget how important this simple question can be. An ideal time to ask ‘why?’ is when a program is pursuing accreditation. Pursuing accreditation is many things: exciting, challenging, tiring, stressful, and validating. We have been pursuing accreditation for over a years, evaluating standards against their current practices and making efforts to create change and improvements to align the two.

Childcare Resources completed their "Mock Visit" and this Friday we will be submitting our request for a validation visit.  This can take up to 1 month to 4 months.  All the staff at Children's Village have worked hard to build a program that meets National Standard of Early Childhood Learning. 

I hope you have seen the changes made and thank you for blessing us each day by allowing us to teach your children.

In Christ,

Janine Bell
Director
