We celebrated Dot day Tuesday!!

Dot Day is inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. It’s all about encouraging children to “make their mark”—to be creative, try something new, believe in themselves, and discover that even something as simple as a dot can become something amazing!

At Head Start & Early Head Start, we love finding fun ways to help our children build confidence, creativity, and a love for learning.

📅🏫 Attendance Matters—Every Day Counts! 🧠✨

Did you know that children who miss just 2 days a month can fall behind in important learning and social development? Even in preschool, regular attendance helps children build routines, friendships, and school readiness skills! 📚👫

Here’s how you can help your child build strong attendance habits:
✅ Set a consistent bedtime and morning routine
✅ Lay out clothes and pack bags the night before
✅ Schedule appointments after school hours when possible
✅ Reach out if you’re facing challenges—we’re here to help!

Your child’s early years are full of learning—and we don’t want them to miss a moment! 💛 Let’s work together to build healthy habits and a love for school that lasts a lifetime.
