Parent Handbook

Tuition Reminder: The tuition for the following week is due every Friday before closure. We understand that at times we all have a busy schedule and there are times that we forget to do the things that are most important in our daily routine. At the same time we have an obligation to keep things in order for our families and the children that we serve. Because of this the tuition that you pay meet those obligations so, this is why it is so important that we are on time taking care of all matters pertaining to the school to meet your needs on time. So, we ask that all families pay on time so that we can meet those obligations. We appreciate your cooperation and support.

Dressing for success. The episode that I watched was a young childhood actress that grew up, married, and had two children. Her look before she got older I found was kind of nice, but as she got older her professional look changed as most mothers let their appearance go to focus heavily on their family. Now she was a very educated she had just finished her Ph.D. in Science. But, she did not think that her appearance was an issue. She wore clothing that did not reflect her age. I laughed when I saw this one. I felt that it related more to me than some of the others. In the sense that you can focus more on others than yourself forgeting about your own appearance. And you walk around thinking that everything is okay until someone pull your coat.
