Child Care Parent Corner
Welcome to our Child Care Parent Corner! Our goal for the Parent Corner is to provide parents with current news from Amy & Kids Co. Check out our Child Care Links for additional resources and information about young children.
Parent Corner News
Check out what's happening in Amy & Kids Co. Family Child Care. We'll be adding more information as often as we can - at least seasonally. (We'd like to promise to update monthly but know how quickly time flies and would rather be playing with the children than staring at a computer screen.)
Spring 2010 Child Care News
It's springtime! As the weather gets nicer we'll spend more time outdoors. Here's what you need to know:
- Sunscreen/Insect Repellent: Permission forms for sunscreen/insect repellent will be placed by the daily sign-in sheet; please fill one out for your child/ren. Again this summer we have chosen to provide Avon Skin so Soft Bug Guard Plus. This product contains 7.5% ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate acid and is SPF 30. We like it because it combines sunscreen and insect repellent on one product, does not need to be washed off at night, and smells good! If you prefer to send your own sunscreen and/or insect repellent please remember to label bottles with your child's name.
- Outdoor Clothing: Keep in mind that springtime brings dirt and mud. Since the children play in the sand or sit on the grass they should wear clothing that can get dirty.
- Outdoor Footgear: Children may begin wearing sandals and/or flip-flops as the weather allows. Please check the appropriate box on the Sunscreen/Insect Repellent form to give permission for your child to go barefoot outside when it gets hot.
- Water Bottles: As the temperatures rise we will encourage the children to drink more water. We provide color-coded Kleen Kanteens for each child over two and a sippy cup for children under two. If you choose to send a water bottle or sippy cup for your child please remember to label it. All water bottles and sippy cups are washed daily and refilled with fresh water throughout the day.
