WELCOME LETTER
Dear Pre-School Parents,
Welcome to the Goodrich Children's Center 3-year-old preschool all day program. We are excited to provide an environment that will help promote your child's ability to socialize with other children, discover new things through hands-on exploration, challenge them with new learning experiences, encourage independence, and prepare them future learning. We want your child to have a fun, safe and positive experience. Please keep in mind that we will be playing, building, creating art work, using playdough among many other activities that may end up on your child's clothes, so please do not send them dressed in their finest clothing.
Please remember to sign your child in and out daily. During the first few weeks of preschool you may be asked to show identification when picking up your child from school until we are familiar with everyone. If someone other than the regular pick up person is picking up your child, they must be listed on your child's information card and show a picture I.D. Please notify the staff in writing when someone different will pick up your child. We also would greatly appreciate a call if your child will be out on their scheduled day.
Your child may participate in Reid's lunch program or may bring a lunch from home. A lunch menu will be provided monthly. We are unable to refrigerate or heat your child's lunch from home so please plan accordingly.
There is a daily rest period. We ask that you send in a small blanket and crib sheet for your child's cot. A small pillow and/or stuffed animal are optional. Also, please send in extra clothing in case of accidents. Label all items with your child's name.
Feel free to speak with us if you have any questions or concerns. We are available before and after preschool time.
Thank you,
Mrs. Daina Moors
Ms. Lisa Irby
Mrs. Jeannie Combs
