Another Successful Staff Training Day!

Wow... I just wanted to thank all of the parents at Mudpies for supporting our staff this week for our Spring training. We had a great time and everyone is heading back refreshed and full of new ideas. We studied several topics including, Conflict resolution in the classroom, Recognizing the signs of autism spectrum disorders and ADD/ADHD, How boys and girls learn differently (very good training) and Communicating tough topics with parents. Additionally, we spent some time on curriculum training, science centers and using prop boxes. As always, this experience helps bond our staff and in turn, your children benefit. Thank you again!!!

Part Time Summer Program Options

After numerous requests to offer a part-time summer program, we have developed some options for everyone. All of these part-time classes will meet from 9am to 2pm. Mrs. Vernita has graciously agreed to teach two bridge classes this summer. Summer Bridge to Pre-K will be on T/TH for kids entering Pre-K (must turn 4 before 9/1/09) and Ready, Set, Kindergarten will be on M/W for kids entering Kindergarten must be 5 before 9/1/09). We are also offering a part-time camp on Fridays for ages 5 to 10. We will be going to Collin County Adventure Camp on these days. For younger children, we will offer a limited number of flex-time days. Flex-time offers the ability to use the school for longer hours. It allows more flexible scheduling. This is a great option for parents wishing to work part-time. Speak with either school office if you have questions about these programs.

Summer Camp is Around the Corner

We have begun pre-registering currently enrolled families for the 2009 Mudpies on the Go Summer Program. Open enrollment begins March 23rd if space remains. We plan to offer 42 spaces in camp this year. Those spots will fill fast! We have teamed with Collin County Adventure camp again this year to offer great outdoor opportunities to our campers. Pick up a summer brochure at either Mudpies location. Hope to see you there!
