A note about snacks:
Snack Time: Children will have snack time at 10:25 each morning. Each child provides their own snack and water bottle. It helps with “picky eaters” and allergy concerns, as well as for any families with specific dietary needs or preferences.
PLEASE, label your child’s water bottles and snack bags, with their first and last names! They get carried room to room and are often accidently left behind and then our staff has trouble getting them back to the right child. We also have several that are similar and that can create confusion.
Even though each child is bringing their own snack, please, do not bring snacks containing any kind of NUT/PEANUT. As careful as we are, the oils can still be spread around and get to any child who may have an allergy. This includes, almond oil, (watch the fruit snacks) and peanut oil. And some cheese crackers have peanut flour in them! Please read ingredient labels! Snacks with labels that say “may contain” or “processed in a facility” are ok.
Snacks should be simple and nutritious.
We suggest:
Vegetable/Fruit (slices), Granola Bars (nut free), Muffins or Sweet breads (watch for nuts & toppings),Crackers, Fruit rollups, Cheese, Fruit Snacks, applesauce cups, yogurt push-ups (like go-gurt). Please: No sweet cookies, cake, candy, or ice cream except for celebrating birthdays.
(stay tuned for updates!)
PRESCHOOL CALENDAR FOR 2026-2027 a work in progress!
(more dates may be added throughout the school year
and changes may be made)
Please note: District 81 has added a couple extra weeks off through the school year, one in October and one in February, in addition to the regular Winter and Spring Breaks. We will NOT be taking those weeks off. It is just too disruptive to our way of scheduling. In addition, this has bumped their spring break to later in the month. Also, Mead School District does not appear to have the same scheduled breaks off. Please watch our dates carefully and do not rely on the area public schools schedules to determine ours. You can always check here and every unit letter sent home will have important upcoming dates highlighted at the top. Thank you.
