We'll also enjoy a visit from Mary Lee, who will bring her guitar and provide us with some rocking good singing and fun! Grandpa Sparky and his clown friends will also be on hand to add to the fun! It's free---we just need to see those pajamas, some appetites and folks ready for some FUN!

Our luncheons will take place throughout the month of April and parents will receive a personal invitation for their class day.

Our staff are very busy evaluating their classrooms and ensuring our program meets the accreditation criteria outlined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Parents have been involved as well, and their input has been most valuable. It looks like our actual validation visit should take place sometime in late May. We're looking forward to this visit and we're confident we will shine!
(3) Our Parent Advisory Board met 10 February 2000 and new officers were elected. They are:

We're now at about 97% complete---so we're seeing progress. There was a little set back last week when one of the sprinkler lines burst and a portion of the rubber safety surface had to be pulled up in order to accommodate the repair. The line has been fixed and new safety surface has been installed. The remainder of items should be completed by 1 May 2000.
(5) Our two certified Family Child Care (FCC) providers continue to support families by offering hourly care, part-time care and full-time care. Feedback from our families is they are pleased to have this option and we've been able to accommodate many families via our FCC providers. We are always looking for new providers to join our program, so if you know of anyone living in La Mesa Housing that may be interested, please have them call 656-2734 and we'd be happy to discuss the program with them.
