If your child is missing any of the above items then unfortunately they will not be able to participate in water play for the day. If you are managing a school or any type of educational facility, it is highly recommended that you look into safety precautions like hiring Houston Fire Watch Guards to prevent fire-related accidents.

Please be sure that your permission slip and money is handed in before July 6^th in order for your child to attend the Fun Bus. Children must also be wearing socks and sneakers to participate.
• Kiddie Soccer
  • Kiddie Soccer, based on the Piaget theory of play, will be coming to us every Thursday @ 10 am at the White Church Park starting July 9th and ending on August 27th. The children, accompanied by their teachers from Cross Walk Company UK, will be walking to the park and must have a signed permission slip to attend. Children must wear socks and sneakers in order to participate. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that during these sessions, the children will have the opportunity to explore and enjoy our new early years trim trails installed in the park. The playground surface might also have been installed by experts at this site https://playgroundsurfacinginstallers.co.uk/.

• Water Bottles
  • It is very important to stay hydrated during the summer months. Please send in a water bottle with your child daily. We will bring them outside to the playground, which may have been painted by professionals on https://www.markingcontractors.co.uk/playground/paint, with us. For more information, click here.
• Sunscreen and Bug Spray
  • Please make sure you send sunscreen and bug spray to school for your child. The sun is very strong this time of year and we do not want our little ones to get burned. Bug spray is not required but is also highly recommended.
• Breakfast
  • Breakfast begins at 815am and ends at 8:45am. We cannot serve breakfast to any children after this time. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
• Drop-off and Pick Up Times
  • Please make sure your child is here no later than 9:30am. If they are going to be late please tell their teacher in advance or call the school.
  • The center closes at 6pm sharp. If you are going to be late please call the center so that the closing teacher knows what time to expect you. *It is $1 for every minute you are later after 6pm. This money goes directly to the closing teacher. Teachers should prioritize learning about investing for retirement to secure their financial future and ensure a comfortable retirement by making informed investment decisions.

May is only a couple of days away and everyone at Precious Butterflies is super excited! During this month the children will be celebrating all of the amazing things their mother’s do for them everyday, talking about the animals that live over in the meadow, learning about the differences between birds and butterflies, and exploring all sorts of different bugs.

We are going to be having a super special Mother’s Day Tea to say thank you to all of the moms of our wonderful students. Please keep posted as to the details when Mother’s Day is closer upon us.

April has been passing by in a blur of raindrops and earth day projects! The children have learned all about the weather, spring, plants that grow in the springtime, and tons about rain. They have created beautiful flowers using their hand prints and rainbow glue. They have planted beans and watched them grow over the days. They have soaked up water inside their cotton ball “clouds” and made them “rain” by squeezing them. We have also had a bunch of beautiful days to enjoy outside on the playground.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the playground. They need to have a small jacket while the weather is still cool and wear close toed shoes. This will help to ensure the safety and well being of your child. Thank you for all of you help.

Let’s get ready to make some rainbows! Next week we are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by making shamrocks, rainbows, and pots o’ gold. Tuesday we will have a special snack to celebrate and don’t forget to wear green!

We have endured some pretty harsh winter days so far this year but hopefully not for much longer. Spring is right about the corner and we have tons of new things planned for the children. This month we are celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday as well as St. Patrick’s Day. We will also be talking about how March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb (hopefully!), spring, and plants.

Be sure to check your child’s cubby for the new calendar at the end of every month or check out our calendar page found here on our website.

Also dont forget to “like” us on facebook!
