April Showers Bring May Flowers

Here we are in the month of April on a wet Friday morning! Staying positive, we will have some beautiful flowers come May. The Academy will be very busy the next two week before our Easter Break. Coming next week, we will be celebrating the Week of the Young Child. This is a week devoted to early learning and early literacy for our young students. We will have some special guests come in to read stories to our students. Our week will begin with a Kick-off Breakfast on Monday morning at 9am. It will be a great week, especially with our visitors coming in, and a field trip to the Eisenhower Public Library.

A few changes

We have to say CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Tom! He was accepted to National-Louis University in their Masters Program for Education. His hours at The Academy will therefore become more limited, but he will still be around helping out with our website and in the classroom. Ms. Lori has returned to The Academy to help out in our preschool and with our EDP program! We are all very happy to have Ms. Lori back at The Academy for the rest of this school year.

Spring is in the air!!

The weather is finally beginning to warm up...I hope. We've been stuck in our homes for far too long! The following link is a link for families with activities around the Chicagoland area. It's a link from Nickelodean: www.gocitykids.parentsconnect.com/region/chicago-il-usa

Preschool Play Dates

We are so excited that our play date for tomorrow, March 11 is a big hit! We have filled all of our spots for tomorrow. We have another play date scheduled for April 8, and one spot is already taken! This is great news. It's nice to know that we are continuing to grow! Pass the word along about our upcoming play date to anyone you might think is interested in sending their child for a couple of ours to see our school.

Welcome to our New Families!!

Coming back from Christmas break brought us the gift of new families. We had two new families join The Academy in January. These families have been warmly welcomed and have fit right in in our Preschool rooms.

Happy New Year!

The new year has brought some postive changes at The Academy. We are growing, and because of our growth, we have opened a third classroom. I hope the best for all of you and your families in the new year too! Thank you to the many families who help to promote The Academy in various ways. It is with your help that we have been able to grow to over 30 students!!

Re-registration and Registration has begun for the 2011-2012 school year. We are also taking registration for our Summer Program which will begin June 27.
