Happy New Year Caterpillar Clubhouse Family! I hope you enjoyed your holiday break with your family, friends and loved ones! We are back in the swing of things starting Monday, 1/4/2021 and we cannot wait to see you! In the meantime, here is what’s happening for the month of January… ENJOY!

BOOKS OF THE MONTH

BIBLE VERSE OF THE MONTH

• Our memory verse of the month is found in Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you” We repeat (and will repeat) this verse every day for the remainder of the month and affirm our children that His name covers every and all our daily needs.

THEME OF THE MONTH

• DINO LAND This month, your child will travel back to the age of dinosaurs. We will dig in the dirt like a paleontologist, study rocks and build with bones. We will stomp like a Triceratops, stretch our neck like a Brontosaurus, and show our sharp teeth like a T-Rex. We will learn about Jurassic plants, climate and even experiment with an overflowing volcano. Prepare for a big month of learning and discovery! Click Jan_FamilyNews for more about our theme this month.

MOVIE TIME

• On Friday, January 15th it’s MOVIE TIME! This month in lieu of visiting the dinosaur exhibit at the Science Museum will have a special viewing of HOOPLA Kidz DINOSUARS FACTS & FUN where or Busy Bee, Carpenter and Helper class will learn more about dinosaurs, their origin and why they’re not walking around anymore! We will serve popcorn and juice boxes as a special treat and transform our classroom into our very own special “movie theatre”… Yay!

TRAVEL

• BEFORE RETURNING TO CCH, please, please, please, understand that travel outside of MD, exposure to large group gatherings and exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 must be disclosed to the staff so that we may be proactive and not reactive to providing a safe environment for both our students and staff. This may include asking you to quarantine for 14 days and/or provide a negative COVID-19 test result before your child is accepted back into the building. This will all be done with guidance from the CDC and Office of Child Care. If you answer yes to any of the questions it is best to call first BEFORE coming to CCH as we report and await guidance from the CDC on next steps.

  I pray that you receive this in love! The CCH population consists of both staff and students with respiratory issues, heart murmurs, asthma, weakened immune systems, and other health fragilities that puts them at high-risks especially as it relates to COVID-19. My reservations are strictly for the safety of our most vulnerable population (some as young as 8wks) that we are doing our best to prayerfully cover. Keep this in mind as you begin to drop off after our holiday break!
