Dear Families.
As the days move quickly and schedules fill up, it's easy to focus on everything that needs to get done-work deadlines, school drop-offs, meal prep, appointments, and endless to-do lists. In the middle of all that responsibility, we sometimes forget a very important thing: the power of play. Play is not just a way for children to pass the time-it is how they learn, grow, and understand the world around them. Through play, children build language skills, practice problem-solving, develop social connections, and strengthen their creativity. Whether they are building with blocks, pretending to run a grocery store, painting a picture, or exploring outside, they are developing skills that support lifelong learning.
Sincerely,
Missy Sjolin

- STOP for school buses! As you see daily there are multiple buses dropping and picking up children at Kid’s Haven. We want to ensure safety in the parking lot. Therefore, if you see a bus in the parking lot or at the bus stop, we need you to stop your vehicle, and not move until the bus has left. Please make sure you allow enough time in the mornings and afternoons to be able to ensure our children are safe as we get them on and off buses.
- Please remember to slow down in the parking lot; there are a lot of little people walking through.
