Summer's Here!!!!
Summer is fun and exciting at Tiny Tot. 
We do spend more time outside. 
The playground is a wonderful outside classroom. 
We can only apply sunscreen and insect repellent
if you send it to Tiny Tot with your child. 
This is due to the fact that some children may have
allergic reactions to chemicals found in these products. 
All products must be labeled with your child's name. 
Also please check your child's extra clothing. 
They have grown and it is summer. 
Your child should have a full set of clothing,
(long and short pants, shirt, undergarments, socks
and a sweatshirt or lightweight jacket).
Gym shoes are the only acceptable shoes for outdoor activities. 
For the safety of your children
please follow these simple instructions.
We're planning wonderful summertime activities.

Where did Father's Day Come From?
Father's Day began when Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, who was widowed and raised his six small children by himself on a farm in Washington state.  She proposed setting aside a special day to honor fathers in 1909.  The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington.  It slowly caught on in other states and in1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day.  Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson sighed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday in June a national celebration honoring fathers.  This special day has become a day not only to honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure-grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles and big brothers.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
