Week of The Young Child 2007

The Week of The Young Child is being celebrated April 22nd-28th. It is a celebration of early childhood education. This years theme is "Building Better Futures for All Children". At my center we are doing many exciting activities including hat day, pajama day, backwards day, breakfast with your child, field day and an ice cream social. We are also encouraging the parents to volunteer time come in and read to their child's class. Today we had a professional storyteller come into the center to entertain the children. They absolutely loved him and he really kept there attention for the entire hour. If your child is in a center ask the director what activities they are doing to celebrate the week.

policies on vacations

Every center has a different policy on vacations. At my center it is 1/2 of your weekly tuition. There is no limit on how many vacation weeks you may take. You may also apply this policy to weeks your child is out sick. They have to be out Monday through Friday to qualify to receive half tuition for that week. Sometimes it is worth it to keep your child out for the entire week if they have already been out sick for several days that week. It may cost you less to have them out the week rather than pay the full tuition to have your child attend 2 days. You should ask what the vacation policy is at your center at the time of enrollment.
