The leaves on the trees are changing colors and the weather is getting a little cooler, which means fall has arrived! The children will continue to go outside, weather permitting. Please make sure that your child has the appropriate outside attire to play in. Dressing in layers is encouraged. Please make sure that you label your child’s clothing.

Registration for the spring semester will begin the week of November 15. You will only need to re-register your child if you are on a semester-to-semester contract or you want to change your schedule. In addition, we will also need an updated class schedule for the spring semester. Forms are due back by Monday, November 29.

Reminder: the UNO Child Care Center will be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 25 and 26 in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday. Also, please make note that the child care center will be closed from December 24, 2021 to January 2, 2022 for the winter break. The center will re-open on Monday, January 3, 2022.

Monday, November 1, kicks off the start of the UNO Child Care Center’s Annual Food Drive for Together, Inc. This year we are only collecting both non-perishable items and monetary donations to give to the food bank. Any thing that you can provided will benefit the needy families in our community. The last day to bring in your donation will be Monday, November 15. The classroom with the most donations will win either an ice cream or pizza party. There are boxes in the multipurpose room for you to place the items. The boxes are labeled with each classroom’s name. A container for the monetary donations is located on the front desk counter. For every $1 you donate will count as 4 items towards the classroom total. Example $5 will equal 20 items. Please make sure that you put your child’s name on the donation, so we know which classroom to put the item total in. Thank you for your support for one of our annual service learning projects.

Mark your calendars now for the annual Child Care Center’s Holiday Program on Saturday, December 11 at 10 A.M. We are planning to hold this year’s program in the Performing Arts Theater. We will keep you posted, as we will need to obtain the appropriate approvals.

Next semester, we are hoping to have two parent workshops. One in February 2022 and one is April 2022. This will be a collaboration with the Munroe Myer Institute and their graduate students. These will be sponsored by the CCAMPIS Grant. Please watch for more detailed information in the coming months.

Finally, I will be out of the office on November 12, & 24. If you have any questions or concerns during this time, please see Monica or the lead teachers.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at 402.554.4936, e-mail me at dhove@unomaha.edu or stop by my office.

Until next month…
