October News!

HAPPY FALL!

We’re happy to welcome fall – new seasons always seem to bring a sense of excitement.

This month, our Bravo! Curriculum will focus on the theme of communities, purposefully building on children’s experience exploring “All About Me,” the unit that began our school year.

As we shift from the concept of “me, my friends, my family, my home” to the concept of “the bigger community around me,” we’ll be incorporating lots of props and materials to the learning environment that will help children make connections to their local communities and all of the important helpers within them.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Fan Friday

Friday, October 4
To celebrate our partnership with the Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers every first Friday of the month we’ll cheer on our teams with spirit parades and other sports-themed fun! Team shirts and paraphernalia are encouraged!

Halloween Parade & Party

Thursday, October 31
Come in costume, bring a (store-bought) treat to share and trick-or-treat around the center with us! Families are welcome to join us for our annual Halloween parade too!

Bravo! at Home

Pumpkin decorating doesn’t just mean scooping “guts” and carving faces. This year, try adding food coloring to glue and inviting your child to paint the pumpkin. Bonus! Use the glue “paint” to add art materials (feathers, tissue paper, pom poms – anything!).

Happy High Fives

“Miss Concetta has been my son’s teacher since he was 4 months old. The way his face lights up when he sees her is so touching and sends the important message that he feels safe and connected to her. We appreciate you so much Miss Concetta!”
-Happy Parent, Cheektowaga, NY

GIVE A HAPPY HIGH FIVE

From front desk operations, to warm interactions, to curriculum implementation, Miss Marissa is a vital part of the Clarence center in so many ways. She is a solutions-based thinker which plays an imperative role in achieving our mission of happy! Her ability to problem-solve benefits children, parents, and teachers alike!
