Greetings Families,

We are excited to announce a new Contact-less Drop Off system. Using the Procare app on your smartphone, we can create a no-touch system for drop off and pick up. Parents will also have more accessible information about their child(ren). Each day, you will fill out a quick questionnaire to allow us to know crucial information regarding your child(ren). Only the parent(s) with the app will be allowed to pick up. For security reasons, the app is only available for two users. Please designate two members that are the primary drop off and pick up person. Any other persons picking up who are not on the app will still need to check-in and out as usual. We sent out a Procare App Invite last week. Please check your email and spam folder for this invite. If you did not receive it please let me know as soon as possible.

Dear Families,
October is SIDS awareness month. Please take the time to read the article and feel free to share it with anyone with young children.

I got a question recently from a parent: “How do I get my child in the car seat without a power struggle each time?” 

This is a phenomenal question and one that I used to get weekly when I was working in the clinic with school-aged children. The problem is: this is non-negotiable due to safety, and children know it is non-negotiable and therefore, it is a great opportunity for them to test limits while also exerting their autonomy. I have personally dealt with this as well with my son, so please know I am speaking from professional and personal experience!
