Summer Camp 2024 at KIH
Speaking of warmer days, please be informed that we are now busy preparing themes and activities for Summer 2024 at KIH. To those who are not yet familiar with our summer schedule, we generally keep the same school hours during the summer. The only things added are field trips (Jellybean and Rainbow Classes) and Classroom Entertainments (Dragonfly and Bubblegum Class). We require a one-time fee per child that covers expenses for the entire summer (transportation fee, lunch, admission, KIH shirt and entertainers’ fee):
- Dragonfly & Bubblegum Student - $115.00
- Jellybean & Rainbow Student - $200.00
This fee is due by May 20th, Monday; there is NO increase in the weekly tuition. If you wish to pay in 2 installments, just inform the office accordingly for proper recording. A separate information sheet (which will include weekly themes and activities) will be sent out, as soon as trips and entertainments are confirmed.
Given that we only have limited space available, if you do not intend to send your child to school during the summer months, please let us know ASAP so that we can already inform the families on our waiting list. Particularly this year, we already have many early requests for summer enrollment. We look forward to all the fun “warm day” activities that we will enjoy in school with your children! As always, we thank you for your cooperation and patronage.

SPRING CLEANING
Please keep our school in mind as you do your spring cleaning at home and office. We are always in need of scrap paper and art supplies for our art & writing areas, as well as, children’s books for our classroom libraries. Few parents have asked what items we can use in the school; we always suggest children’s puzzles, dress-up clothes, pretend toys (dishes, food, construction, etc…), wooden toys, stacking toys, and coloring books. Unfortunately, we cannot take stuffed animals (head lice contamination) or small toy items (choke hazard), as per DCFS regulation. Happy cleaning!
Special shoutout to Jeanne, Ruby, and Junot’s Mothers for donating school supplies and books to KIH!!! Thank you! Thank you!!!

DIRECTOR’S CORNER
- Ms. Genny -
Happy May, KIH Families and Friends! It is incredible how swiftly the year is unfolding, and here we are nearly halfway through the year! Here at Kids In Harmony, we are thrilled to embrace the vibrant spirit of spring with an abundance of enriching activities and events for our cherished little friends.
As nature awakens from its winter slumber, our preschoolers will immerse themselves in a plethora of springtime adventures. From exploring the wonders of our outdoor environment to engaging in sensory nature walks, we are dedicated to fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world around us.
Our budding gardeners rolled up their sleeves few weeks ago and got their hands dirty and busy as they participated in hands-on gardening activities to help beautify our play space. We thank our families who contributed flowering plants, vegetables, and herbs. Our little friends will learn valuable lessons about growth, patience, and stewardship of the Earth, as we continue to observe up close and personal the many changes happening around our school and beyond. At home, we encourage you to involve your little ones in the many little tasks around the house, both indoor and outdoor. Life lessons begin while they are still young.
Also this month, as May blooms with beauty and warmth, we especially celebrate and honor the amazing mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and mother figures in our children’s lives. As we highlight the extraordinary role of mothers in shaping the lives of our children, let us take a moment to reflect on the profound impact of your love and guidance.
Our little ones have been busy preparing special surprises and heartfelt gifts to express their love and appreciation. And so, be prepared for smiles, hugs, and perhaps a few joyful tears as we celebrate the extraordinary bond between mother and child. And may this Mother’s Day be filled with joy, love, and cherished moments with our little ones.
Always reference our school calendar for upcoming events and school days off, so that you are able to plan accordingly.
