Wee Care Daycare & Preschool

2012-03-02T07:26:00.003-08:00

The spring weather and strong storms are upon us. Just wanted to remind everyone of our emergency policies. We practice our fire, tornado, and earthquake drills monthly, so our children know just what to do if there is an actual emergency. We do have a basement, so all our children will be downstairs in their "turtle" position if we have a tornado warning. Please know that your child is safe. If you want to come pick up your child or if you want to come weather the storm with us (if our facility is safer than your workplace or home), that is fine too. Just please use caution when choosing to drive to get your child. We do not want you to put yourself in harms way. If there were ever to be a real situation where our building was not safe (an actual fire or disaster), our "safe place" is across the street at Maxwell Elementary. The principal has agreed to allow us to use their building if ours was ever deemed unsafe after a natural disaster. I am ready for spring flowers and lets skip the severe showers!

Just a reminder that Wee Care Daycare and Preschool will be OPEN tomorrow, Presidents' Day, February 20, 2012. Have a good night!

I wanted to let everyone know that tomorow (Friday, July 1st) is our beloved Ms. Nikki's BIRTHDAY!! Be sure to wish her a happy birthday when you see her!

Pacifier Fairy

2011-06-27T08:43:00.000-07:00

One of our parents had a great idea that I thought many people would appreciate. Ryan's mom, Raco, told him that the Pacifier Fairy was coming to take the pacifier away and in its place she would leave a little toy. This may work for many parents trying to get rid of the pacifier. This way the kids have something to look forward to in the morning when they wake up - a special gift from the Paci -Fairy! Thanks Raco!

It's Friday!

2011-06-24T16:13:00.000-07:00

We all worked and played hard at Wee Care this week. So hard that some of us couldn't even keep our eyes open by lunch time! Take a look at this video clip. Too cute!
