Dear Sunset Academy Families,

Spring is on its way, and we are excited to embrace the warmer weather and all the new learning opportunities that come with it! As we move into March, here are some important updates, reminders, and highlights from our classrooms.

March Learning Themes
Our children have been engaged in a variety of fun and educational activities this month! Each classroom is diving into exciting themes that spark curiosity and creativity:

• Infants & Toddlers: Exploring colors and textures, learning about spring animals, and engaging in sensory play.

• Preschool & Pre-K: Studying weather patterns, the life cycle of plants, and the wonders of bugs and insects. Children will also participate in hands-on gardening activities to welcome the season of growth! Brown Bears has been focusing on environmental awareness, recycling projects, and how we can take care of our planet.
  Ask your child about what they’ve been learning—we love seeing their excitement as they share new discoveries with their families!

Health & Wellness Reminder
With seasonal changes, we want to remind families of our health policies to ensure the well-being of all children and staff. Please keep your child home if they exhibit any of the following symptoms:

• Fever of 100.4°F or higher
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
• Severe coughing or difficulty breathing
• Unexplained rash or pink eye
• Any other contagious illness
  Children must be symptom-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Thank you for helping us maintain a healthy environment for all!

Warmer Weather & Sunscreen
As temperatures begin to rise, we will be spending more time outdoors! Please send in:

• Sunscreen (labeled with your child’s name)
• Weather-appropriate clothing, including a light jacket for cooler mornings

• A refillable water bottle to stay hydrated
  If you have any questions about sunscreen application procedures, please speak with your child’s teacher.

Daily Sign-In & Sign-Out in Procare
A friendly reminder that signing your child in and out in Procare is mandatory every day. This helps us ensure the safety and security of all children in our care. If you experience any issues with the app, please let your child’s teacher or the front desk know so we can assist you.

Thank you for your continued support in making Sunset Academy a wonderful place for learning and growth. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best,
Sammi
Director, Sunset Academy
