Open
House
We will be hosting
an OPEN HOUSE NIGHT on Wednesday, April 25, 5:30-7:30
p.m. for families of 2018-19 students. If you know
someone who would like to visit the school and learn
about our program, feel free to let them know. The
staff will be available to answer questions and children
will have the opportunity to explore the classroom. The
majority of families who join our program choose us
because someone they trust has recommended us.
Thank you for your kind words…it
keeps us doing the work we love!

GRANDPARENT’S TEA
Your child will
soon be bringing home an invitation for
Grandparent’s Tea: April 5/6. We would like to
invite grandparents to join us for refreshments
in the church gym at nursery school. The
children will prepare a small musical
presentation and a unique keepsake for this
event. Grandparents deserve to be celebrated! If
they are unable to attend, feel free to extend
this invitation to any person who is special to
your child. We will have an RSVP sign-up chart
available in the hallway in March, so that we
know how many people to prepare for.

Health matters FYI
No Wrong Door
Child Care operators that have a purchase of service
agreement with the Regional Municipality of Durham
are required to ensure staff, students and board
members are aware of No Wrong Door. No Wrong Door is
a green binder that should be located in all child
care offices in Durham. The purpose of No Wrong Door
is to make it easier for families living in Durham
Region to connect with the services they want for
their children ages birth to 13th birthday. No Wrong
Door is also available electronically at
http://www.rfecydurham.com/resourceportal/no-wrong-door
.
EpiPen Auto-Injector
Training Kit
An EpiPen Auto-Injector Training Kit is available
for loan at the nursery school. It is designed to
educate people with severe allergies about
anaphylaxis, and to assist you in being better
prepared in the event of an anaphylactic reaction.
If you are interested in borrowing the kit, please
ask any member of our staff. If you would like to
order your own complimentary kit, visit
www.EpiPen.ca.
Asthma Action Resource Kit
Also available for loan is an Asthma Action Resource
Kit. It is an excellent resource for educators and
parents looking after a child with asthma. It
includes two story books that you can read to your
child. It is developed by the Lung Association. The
Asthma Action Helpline is 1-800-668-7682, where
Certified Asthma Educators are available to provide
education and counselling about prevention,
management and treatment of asthma.
We have children in our programs with life
threatening allergies to NUTS AND EGGS. At no
time is it allowable for these foods to be brought
to school. If your child has consumed or come into
contact with any of the above allergens (i.e. peanut
butter), it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that
you have cleaned these products off your child’s
face, hands, and clothing. The families of these
children deserve assurance that their children will
be safe at nursery school. Your understanding and
cooperation is appreciated.
