News At The Haven
Welcome to Kid's Haven's 2025-2026 school year. We are kicking off with the topic of Family Partnership: Beginning of the Year. As a new school year begins. one of the most important foundations we can lay is a strong, respectful partnership between families and educators. Early childhood is a time of incredible growth and change-not only for children but for the adults who support them. When families and childcare providers work together from the very start, children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Children feel most secure and confident when they see that the important adults in their lives are working as a team. A strong partnership between home and childcare helps create consistency in expectations, values, and routines. This collaboration fosters a sense of trust and stability, which is essential for young children who are navigating new environments, building relationships, and developing independence. Starting the year with a focus on family partnership lays the groundwork for a successful, connected, and joyful learning journey. When caregivers and families collaborate, children benefit in every way-emotionally, socially, and academically. Let's begin this year together, as partners, advocates, and champions for every child in our care.
We hope you have a great start to the beginning of the year!!!
Sincerely,
Missy Sjolin

- Please let your teacher know if your children's schedule is going to change when school starts.
- Please complete all bus forms if your child will be taking a bus to or from Kid's Haven.
- We are closed 9/l to observe Labor Day!
- At Kid's Haven, all our staff members have recently completed comprehensive training in best practice behavior guidance and redirection strategies. This ensures that every child in our care receives the highest quality support, fostering a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment.
- If your child will be entering Kindergarten fall of 2025, your child will be running with our school-age program this summer. Let your child's teacher know if you are not planning on sending your child to Kindergarten this fall and he/she are old enough to attend.
- 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.
