Home Away From Home

Child Care

January 2009 Newsletter

Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a good

holiday season and best wishes on the New Year.

These past few weeks we have been talking about winter after we will be transitioning in to bears and other winter animals.

Even though the weather in St. Louis is very unpredictable it leads to many teachable moments.

As many of you know we now have a web-site if you have not visited it please do so at

Homeawayfromhomechildcarecenter.com, I try to post important things and newsletters as the weeks move on.

As a reminder we need hats and gloves and winter coats to go outside, state licensing requires outside time so please make sure that your child comes prepared.

I am still working on putting together the family tradition cookbook thank you to everyone who sent in recipes.

Wish List : Clear tubs with lids

A barn for the block area (ours broke) Post it notes

One last thing: we are looking at doing parent teacher conferences at the end of March watch out for reminders as the time gets closer.
