Director’s Notes

January 1, 2018

Dear Parents,

Another year has passed and I look forward to starting 2018 with the team I have in place. I would like to thank all of the families for your support in our program and the staff for their continued dedication to St. Philip’s ECC.

2017 expense reports will be dispersed the first week of January for your taxes. They will be mailed to the address which was provided. If you have a balance from 2017, December invoices were emailed this week. Please pay this balance by December 29, 2017, to avoid any late fees.

Reminder: please make sure your child has an appropriate change of clothing here at the center! We want to make sure the children have winter clothing to put on in case of an accident. Also, please make sure your child has a winter coat, hat, and gloves on. We take the children outside at twenty degrees and above for ten- to fifteen-minute increments.

Beginning January 2, 2018, the center will be digital. All classrooms will be equipped with Kindle Fires and have the app HiMama. This childcare app provides software services such as attendance records and daily reports. If you fail to sign your child in each day, you will not receive a daily report (infant, toddlers, and twos). All communication with your lead teachers will still be accessible through their email addresses. I suggest you take a look at the app between now and then and familiarize yourself with it. We are very excited about this service and hope you are too!

We would all like to thank you for trusting St. Philip’s ECC with your children and letting us be a part of your child’s lives. Here is to another great year!

Thank you,

Megan Dowding
Executive Director
