April at Tot Spot

April 3, 2025

Welcome back!  We hope everyone had a great Spring Break!  We are kicking off April exploring the animals and new life that come with spring and Easter.  Following this, we will learn about some of the different types of weather and other signs of spring.  As usual, it looks more like winter!

Our special day this month will be Crazy Hair/Hat Day to be held on April 16th/17th.  Do something crazy with your hair and/or wear a crazy hat on this day!

Dad’s Nights are quickly approaching!  The children are invited to bring their dad with them for a fun filled evening at school from 6:00 – 7:30.  If dad is unable to attend, your child may bring another special adult (grandpa, uncle, adult friend, mom, etc.) with them instead.  As this is a special evening for your child with their dad/special guest (and due to our limited space), siblings are not able to attend.  Please note that your child does not come to school during the daytime on the day of their Dad’s Night.

April 8th (6:00-7:30) – Dad’s Night for T/Th am classes

April 9th (6:00-7:30) – Dad’s Night for MWF am classes

April 10th (6:00-7:30) – Dad’s Night for afternoon classes

If you currently have a child in our 3 year old program that is registered for one of our programs in the fall, you will be receiving a package from I’m For Kids Team this month.  Digital copies of the screening form will also be emailed out to families.  We partner with this organization to provide children with extra support if needed.  The screening and support (if your child qualifies) are at no cost to you as they are both covered by funding from the provincial government.  I’m For Kids Team will be at Tot Spot May 5th and 6th to complete these screenings.  Watch for further information regarding this program later this month!

Our toilet paper and paper towel roll supply is getting low.  We will gratefully accept donations of both this month.  Please ensure that they are free of toilet paper and paper towels!

Please note that the snack bins are for snack/lunch bags only.  Please put backpacks in the coat room behind the fireplace.  We have a number of large backpacks in our snack bins and they are overflowing!
