Spring Portraits
- Our favorite photographer will be back on April 2nd to take spring
portraits as well as class pictures of the pre-school children. He has several
backgrounds including one from the Dallas Arboretum. Pictures will be back
in time for Mother’s Day. We are so excited to have Brad back again.
Extra Clothes
- All children under the age of 5 should have a complete change of clothes
at school for those inevitable accidents. Please remember to bring clean
clothes back to school the next day.
Vision / Hearing Screening
- Texas law requires all 4 year old children enrolled in school or child
care to have a hearing and vision screening.

in our center on March 11, 2008 to administer both hearing and vision tests.
The cost for each test is $8.
- If your child will be 5 years of age by Sept. 1st, 2008 your child
must be screened. If you choose not participate in the upcoming screening
and your child’s birthday you must provide us with written proof of
