Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2011 school year at Tiny Tot Preschool
and Kindergarten. Whether you are new to Tiny tot or a returning
family, we are thrilled that you have chosen us as a partner in your
child’s early care and education. We know your child will have many
positive experiences in the classroom. The adjustment period will be
minimal compared to the skills and friendships that your child will
make at Tiny Tot.
Early childhood education is very important in the
development of many skills such as social and emotional, self-help,
fine and gross motor as well as cognitive development. We are
confident that our program will lay the foundation for a lifetime of
learning. We are honored that you have entrusted us to nurture and
educate your child during these most formative years.
Communication is essential for a productive
relationship between home and school. Please feel free to call the
school and talk with those who may be of help. The office is
available to you any time and you may speak directly with your
child’s teacher between the hours of 12:30 and 2:30 daily. We also
provide information about events and activities on the parent
information board in each classroom and in the weekly classroom
newsletter, and the director’s monthly newsletter. Each class has
their own web page that can be accessed by checking out the Home
page on our school website at
www.tinytotskokie.com
You can also go
there to
familiarize yourself with our handbook. Both the handbook and the
newsletters are on our website for your convenience. The parent
handbook is an excellent tool for answering any questions you may
have regarding policies, curriculum and our philosophy.
Tiny Tot strives to provide the best experience
possible for your child and your family. We are driven by a history
of excellence combined with current best practices in early care and
education. We are looking forward to having you as part of our Tiny
Tot Family for the 2011-2012 school year.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Shanahan |

What
your child wears to
school can make a significant
difference in his/her day.
Please have your children
wear gym shoes.
Choose clothes that are soft
and flexible. This allows your
child to run, climb, peddle
without restriction.
We don’t have to dress up for school.
We encourage you to send your
child in clothing that can and will
get dirty. A young child’s work
and play is active and messy.
Leave jewelry at home.
Necklaces, bracelets and rings
can get caught on play equipment
and cause injury to your child.
Also jewelry can get lost or broken
and we all feel bad. |

From the Office
of the Director:
Why is Play SO
Important? |

No over the counter
medication

from the doctor.
We will administer only prescription

with your written consent. |
