Director’s Message
Dear Child Care Center Families -
Summertime is almost here! As we prepare for warmer weather and sunshine, remember to bring sunscreen for your child. An extra set of clothes is needed for younger children at the center. Please write your child’s name on each of their items.
Thank you for your support with our Easter Egg Hunt and classroom parties! The kids enjoyed themselves tremendously.
This week, May 5-9, we are celebrating our staff with Teacher Appreciation Week for our amazing teachers. You can still donate money to get gift cards for each teacher in the center. There is a donation box at the front office.
This year’s Summer Kick-Off Event will be held at Pelican Bay on May 30 from 7—9 PM. This is an all-family event—everyone is invited to join us. Watch for more info to come!
We will be closed for Memorial Day (5/26) and summer officially begins May 27. Summer calendars will be available for each class soon.
Blessings,
Ashley Abraham

Lessons from Lisa Lane
May is a fun month! We will be exploring different types of animals and their habitats. Before we get into those amazing animal topics, however, we will spend the first week remembering our mother’s and why they are so special to us.
After this we are moving to the farm. What animals live on a farm? What kind of things happen on a farm? What kind of jobs are there on the farm? These are all questions that will be asked as we explore this week.
Next, we will take a trip to the zoo. We will discover the differences between the animals that live there. We will talk about what our favorite animal is at the zoo and so many other things.
Finally, we will explore pond life—which means FROGS! What else will we find at the pond? What is a pond? And so on. This is a month that your children tend to enjoy greatly, so I am hopeful for a fun and exciting month for them! If you have any questions or anything you would like to add, please feel free to reach out to me. YAY!
Inclement Weather
Bad weather happens during the spring months, and, here at the center, we will be watching the weather continuously.
If you would like to sign up to receive texts alerts, send your child’s name, your cell phone number and the name of your service provider to Mardi Lopez in the front office at: mlopez@fccedmond.org
Happy Birthday!

A Message from Children’s Ministry
Live It Out this summer at Vacation Bible School! The children are going to discover how to live like Jesus this June with all of our childcare center children and staff. Kids will feel empowered to adventure beyond simply talking about their faith and learn to live out their faith!
• Monday, June 9: Jesus wants us to LOVE one another.
• Monday, June 16: Jesus asks us to BE KIND to one another.
• Monday, June 23: Jesus tells us to PRAY for one another.
• Monday, June 30: Jesus says to SERVE one another.
You can also help with donations of craft items, snacks or money & make this VBS a HUGE success - at www.fccedmond.org/vbs
Blessings to all!
