News At The Haven
As we prepare to start a new school year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the value of routines in a child's life. Consistent routines help children feel secure, build confidence, and develop important life skills. Whether it's a morning routine, bedtime ritual. or a regular schedule at school. children thrive when they know what to expect.
The beginning of the school year offers a fresh opportunity to establish or reinforce these routines at home and in the classroom. Creating structure doesn't mean eliminating flexibility-it means building a strong foundation that helps children manage transitions and expectations with greater ease.
Here's to a wonderful school year!
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.
