Dear CCP Family,
Thank you for your patience with the weather closures this week. Hope it wasn’t too great an inconvenience and you were able to enjoy the beauty and have some fun with your children. Plans for tomorrow, (Friday 1/24) have been emailed to the Friday classes. (We will be open normal time.)
Thank you for turning in your applications for next school year. The CCP Admissions Committee will meet in early February. We will email the results asap including details of the next steps to take. Hopefully you read and understood the emailed letter about class placement. We will do our best to honor as many first choices as possible.
Also, please remind your friends with young children that it is time to register for 2025-26! It happens early so they may not be aware. Hopefully our red and white sign by 15-501 will help awareness. New applications are due by Jan. 31.
Parent Discussion Group - Sorry this was cancelled today. Pastor Lee and I will set another date soon.
Families, please mark your calendars . More details to come…
PANCAKES & PJ’S - Wear your pajamas to preschool on Wed, Jan 29 (Ducks, MW Frogs, MWF Ladybugs) or Thurs, Jan 30 (Whales, TTH Frogs, TTH Ladybugs) We will eat at 10:00am in Ascension Hall. Parent representatives will be communicating with you about how you can help. If you are settting up or cooking pancakes, you may start right after drop off. I’ll be around to answer questions.

Looking ahead with spring dates - more details to come, but make sure to mark the calendar for now:

Shortly after drop-off on this Wed & Thurs, your child will sing a few songs with their class & Ms. Vicki for an audience of parents and special loved ones in Ascension Hall. So, if your child has music on Wed, then they will sing on Wed. If their music class is on Thurs, then they will sing on Thurs) More details to come…
From Dr. Bailey's Feeling Buddies Curriculum, "Much like adults create written to-do lists and record appointments on a calendar, picture outlines of everyday routines provide predictability and safety for children. Instead of expecting them to remember, visuals provide developmentally appropriate tools to help them remember." You may know that each of our classrooms has a picture schedule of their day. The teachers refer to it during the day to let the children know what comes next and how they are progressing through the school day. Some classes even have helpful visuals to remind children of toileting and hand-washing routines. You can post pictures at home for how to clean up toys, the steps to feed the dog, how to brush your teeth, or even how to get dressed in the morning! You can also put these pictures in a little book that you can "read" anytime you are preparing for an event. Check out Shubert’s house on the Conscious Discipline website, www.consciousdiscipline.com for ideas! It’s under “Free resources.”
I wish you well,
Debbie
