Playspace Reminders:

Now that the winter months are here and the playspace becomes busier...

Please help us to keep your space clean and safe for you and the children. Think about treating this space as you would if you were at a friend's house!!!

CLEANING UP/TIDYING THE ROOM: We have lots of fun material for children to explore, but it can NOT be out at the same time. Once your child is finished playing with something, work with them and model how to clean up and put something away before moving on to the next play item. If other children are playing in the area, you can still put one or two things away!

FOOD AND DRINKS ONLY AT THE TABLE: Even if they are spill proof, all cups and food MUST be kept at the tables. Adults - we have put up a shelf by the snack tables and sink area for YOUR cups as well. Please help yourself to juice and snacks but wash your dishes and wipe down the table. Please NO FOOD or DRINKS in the music room!

If you see something that is not safe, fee free to let a parent know how the playspace works. They may be new and not know or are not aware of how the room works. Or, if you or another parent are struggling with a situation between children don't be afraid to talk it out and work together to come up with a plan. Children will often respond better to someone they don't know. Working with someone could help everyone out!

We love to see parents connecting and talking with each other, but we need parents to be aware of and attentive to their children. More than one child needing different attention or two children in different directions? Ask someone if they are comfortable with "keeping an eye" on your little one for a moment until you are in a better place.

If Eliza or Rosemary are not in the rooms at the moment, please come to the office and we'd be happy to lend a hand with a situation or offer direction and suggestions with a concern or issue.
