Winter is in the air! We are
so excited for some cooler
weather so we can enjoy
the changes that are
happening outside. We are
still seeing the changing
and falling leaves even
though the air has a certain
chill to it. We hope to see
more snow for Christmas!
Our new curriculum
additions are based on
books, including Franklin
The Turtle and the The
Berenstain Bears books!
They have a new faith
based series and the
original books have
wonderful themes, too . We
are so excited. We have
already started using them
and it was a huge hit!
Updated information on the
curriculum page is coming
soon!
Please make sure you have
a copy of our closed dates.
They are posted for the
entire year at a time. If you
have any questions about
them, please let me know.
Our summer program was
a big hit this year. Make
sure to make plans for next
summer to be a part of our
exciting fun!
Please let us know what
your vacation dates are as
soon as you know them,
with at least two months
notice. We will put them on
our calendar so we know
when not to expect your
child. Remember your
vacation cannot be the
same as mine.
MTCKC became officially
licensed with the state of
Texas! We are so excited!
Change in PNO. It will be
only on Friday's. Please try
to plan at least two weeks
in advance. We will not
book at the last minute

| Parent Tips |
Every day is a day you can do
something special with your
children. There are
opportunities everywhere!
January: Make the first a
really big deal. Talk about the
old year and the fun things you
did. Then make some plans for
the new year. Even if they are
very simple, like see a movie
together once a month.
February: Make homemade
Valentines and give them away
to people in your neighborhood,
like the mailcarrier, fireman,
policeman, librarain...
March: Go on a "spring walk"
looking for new life all around
you. Make shamrock cookies
together, share them with
someone.

yard. Paint eggs together the
night before. Read the story of
Jesus and share with your
children how much He loves
them.

the park. Sit down under a tree
and read a book with a glass of
cold lemonade and chocolate chip

leaves together. Go pumpkin
picking. Go on a nature walk and
see how many of God's
creatures you can find along the

| Parents Night Out! |
| MTCKC is doing our PNO a little differently. We will have it every Friday (unless otherwise stated) from 6:30 pm - midnight. It will be $25 per family up to 4 kids. If you have more than 4 children it is an additional $5/each. We will have things for all age children, not just preschoolers! This will be a great time for parents to get out for a date night, a Mom's/Dad's Night Out or a time to just drop the kids off for some fun and go back home for a relaxing evening. There will be themes for each week. The sooner you book the sooner we can plan activities to fit their ages and needs. We are so excited about the possibilities this will bring about. We are going to have so much fun!!!! January will be a winter theme. February will have a heart theme. etc.... Our PNO's are as follows: January 8, 15, 22, & 29 February 12, 19 March 5, 12, 19, 26 |
| During April & May we worked on our flower garden. We will took pictures of our work and posted them for the parents to see. We will be taking pictures of our other seasons and special projects as we go along through the year. We just love to share with parents the fun things we do! |
| Your Child Needs to Bring: |
If your child is here on a daily basis and under contract please
make sure you have these supplies here for your child.
A nap mat with child's name on it, a blanket or mat cover, a bag
with child's name on it to hold the blanket, diapers (if
appropriate), wipe refills, and a change of clothes. During the
spring-fall months please make sure they have a swimsuit they can
leave here. During winter months please make sure they have a
jacket or coat. A carseat that is appropriate for your childs age
and weight is also required. These things should all be something
you can leave here instead of taking them home every day. For
infants please provide pre-made bottles and baby food for that
day until the age of one. Thanks for your help!
