It's a bit rainy out, so there is a back up rainy day schedule if it looks too icky to go outside......but if the rain stays away for 3 hours, the Friday schedule will stay the same.
Be sure to check out the schedule on the first floor by the security desk.
I hope you have a great weekend!!

Yoga!
Yoga today! Don't forget it's the last day of the book fair and there's no holidays programming tomorrow, September 26th.
Everyone should be on the same page today, but always check the message board on the first floor by the security desk for any last minute changes (i.e. everyone finishes homework early so they decide to go out 15-20 min)
Fencing was awesome yesterday! I can't wait until the next class!

And Fall is on it's way......
Yes! I can't wait to start wearing my sweaters! I always wanted one of those reallybig colorful ones like Bill Cosby used to wear..... I would look pretty fly.
Anywho, a great day is ahead of us! The 2nd and 3rd graders get to hang with me today and our prek/k kids will be playing in the alley and not in the playground. Be sure to check the schedule downstairs for any last minute details. School snack arrives tomorrow so tday we're going to be enjoying milk and Frosted Mini-Wheats ( if your child can not have wheat, we have popcorn also), yes,the name brand kind. As a kid, my parents were very anti-candy or sugary foods, so we always had super bran cereals or granola....I'm pretty sure I was the only kid in 1989 going to school with homemade fruit leathers......I digress!
Another beautiful day in the greatest city in the world is upon so I won't waste any more time typing and get back to playing with the kids!
Be sure to let Valerie know if you have any monetary concerns or are making payments.

Just a reminder!
It's lovely outside! This fall weather makes me so happy. The sun is out and it's not chilly like yesterday, but you know fall is here. I love seeing the leaves change color and I can't wait to start wearing sweaters! Fall in West Virginia is my favorite, but even my country heart is loving autumn in New York....
I digress!
Please no peanut products!!! I'm a fan of the Carver creation, but we can't have them! Also, we don't offer childcare September 17 & 18th (that's next Monday and Tuesday) So sorry! We also don't offer childcare September 26th (a Wednesday).....but we will be running full day programming October 8,Columbus Day. Applications for that holiday will come in a week or two, so be sure to check back any extra info, or just ask!
Pick up is at 6pm sharp, we charge $1 a minute after 6:02pm per child. It's rough I know it, but the security guards need us to be out of the building! They're tough, but we love them for keeping us safe.
I'm going to be taking some pictures today, hopefully they'll be up on this blog later tonight or tomorrow......
Have fun and see you soon!

Much Better!
Yes, I do believe this template is much better.....
Today is yoga! Our yoga teacher Salvador starts September 25, so that means that yoga class will be taught by me! If your child went to our summer camp, they will tell you that my yoga/pilates classes are fun and active! I secretly love teaching and if I could I would be teaching every single class we offer, but I am only one woman and must share the love of teaching with everyone.....but today can be my day to shine!
I always have fun teaching yoga/pilates(I add pilates to the mix to keep it upbeat). The yoga class is on the 3rd floor,rm318. Please check the schedule posted on the message board by the security desk to see where your child's group is.
If your child is in prek or k, please be patient with us while we get place to place. Our little muchkins are new to the program and need time to travel. Thank you for your understanding and please feel free to email or call anytime!
