FATHER’S DAY GRADUATION
We invite all our dads to take a few extra moments with your child on 6/13 or 6/14 to enjoy milk, doughnuts, and coffee in the hallway.  We love you, Dad! The teachers will have a few comments with the children on 6/13 and 6/14 to talk about “moving on”.  This is a simple, casual ceremony to celebrate your child.  Join us with your camera if you would like.
TUITION FOR JUNE NAMES ON YOUR CHECK
Families leaving ACLC in June need to pay the total invoiced amount by the 5th .  Deposit will be returned by mail, after final accounting is completed in June. Please list the child’s last name in the check memo if it is different than the person paying the invoice.
LATE FEE HELP!
Late fee is due if the check is not in the box by the 5th (regardless of the check date.)  This is an honor system, and you cooperation is appreciated.  Late fees, if not paid, will be billed or reduced from your deposit. Reduce our administrative cost by paying the full amount invoiced.  Sometimes it takes more than two or three reminders to collect all dues.
"SNIPPETS" FROM THE NEWSLETTER:
Backyard Discovery
Now that the weather is warmer and more predictable, you can be outside with your child discovering nature in your own backyard or neighborhood park.  The great outdoors offers a variety of natural things just waiting to be investigated.  Get help from your local library by checking out nature books and guidebooks to discover information on birds, insects, and plants that are local to your area. Casual observance will uncover an abundance of evidence about animals, plants, and minerals. Children find minerals and rocks interesting, too.  It is good to remember that you can often collect rocks in your own backyard.  Ask how the rocks got there and where they came from.  Find out if your child has a favorite rock and why it’s their favorite.  Compare the colors, sizes, shapes and textures of rocks your child has collected.
Summer Safety Tips
Have fun and stay safe!
Sun Safety:
Wear sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 and be sure to apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure and again every two hours.  Babies as young as 6 months should wear sunscreen when exposed to the sun.  Keep covered when possible.  Visors and wide-brimmed hats can keep faces and ears out of the sunlight.  Light, tightly woven clothing can keep your body cool when you are out all day.  Always keep infants under 6 months out of the direct sunlight.  Be sure to use umbrellas over strollers when taking baby to the pool or on walks.
Water Safety:
Learn CPR and know how to get emergency help.  Enroll your child in swimming lessons.  Empty all buckets and wading pools. Use a rigid, lockable cover on a hot tub, spa, or whirlpool, or fence in all four sides.  Never leave children unsupervised around water!

Tuning in to Television
When children have a lot of free time during the day, it’s easy to let them get away with watching too much TV to fill the long hours.  Keep in mind that many things on television are meant for adult audiences and are inappropriate for kids.  Be smart about the programs you permit children to watch—there are good ones, but they are often hard to find.
