IMPORTANT DATES
PICTURE DAY
04/26/2024
Get those pearly whites sparkly and ready! Children should come to school already dressed-up. If you are sending a change of clothing for your children, please make sure everything is labeled and kept in a bag. We will not serve breakfast on this day to avoid clothes from getting dirty, so please make sure to serve breakfast to your children before coming to school. We will serve them snack right after their pictures are taken.
SPRING CLEANING
As we welcome the vibrant season of spring, please keep our school in mind as you do your decluttering and cleaning at home and office. Many of us will be sorting through closets and toy bins, uncovering items that your children have outgrown or no longer use. 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. These items can definitely find new life in the hands of eager learners at KIH. Happy cleaning!
WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD CELEBRATION
We are thrilled to announce that the Week of the Young Child celebration is fast approaching here at KIH!

Your involvement and support play a crucial role in your child’s development, and we are excited to share this celebration with you.
Please refer to the attached schedule for details on the Week of the Young Child activities and events. We look forward to celebrating with you and your child!
EXTRA CLOTHES
This is just a friendly reminded about the importance of updating your child’s change of clothes at school. With warmer weather and outdoor play in full swing, it is essential to ensure that your child has appropriate attire on hand for any unexpected adventures or messy play.
Please provide a complete change of clothes, including underwear and socks. This ensures that they can quickly freshen up and continue with their day without any interruptions or having the need to be picked up and sent home.
To avoid mix-ups or lost items, please label all clothing items with your child’s name.
Always reference our school calendar for upcoming events and school days off, so that you are able to plan accordingly.

DIRECTOR’S CORNER
- Ms. Genny -
As the days grow longer and the flowers begin to bloom, our little learners have been noticing the many changes the season of spring has brought upon us. They are gleefully embracing the beauty of nature and all it has to offer.
In our center, our outdoor space is being enjoyed on a daily basis! From observing sprouting seeds to chasing our shadows, outdoor play is such an integral part of our curriculum. We encourage our children to engage their senses, ask questions, and foster a deeper connection with the natural world.
In our classrooms, our buzzing bumblebees are enjoying art activities as they explore varies art supplies. We are continuously encouraging them to enjoy the process of each activity and build on the concepts that they have already acquired and/or mastered. Learning is so much fun, especially when we do so as a community with curious minds and wiggly, jiggly bodies!
As we embrace the season of renewal and growth, our staff wishes to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership. Your involvement enriches our preschool community and makes a difference in the lives of our children.
May your spring be filled with joy, laughter, and endless possibilities!
