Birthdays

Congratulations on your child's birthday!  We know this is a very special occasion, and many parents like to celebrate with their child's class. 

 We kindly ask that parents adhere to the following guidelines:

• With prior notice, treats can be brought in for snack time. 

• Check with the Director or teacher for any food allergies.

• Use the following guidelines when planning food celebrations:

  • Nutritional snacks are preferred:  Muffins, oatmeal cookies, fruit, vegetables with dip, string cheese, granola bars, pudding, etc.

  • Beverage ideas:  Milk or fruit juice.  No punch or soda please!

  • Mini cupcakes are preferred over cake (candles may not be used in the classroom).

• Special birthday plates, cups and napkins can be brought in for the celebration.

Additional Notes:

• If you plan to have a birthday party outside the classroom and your intent is to invite only a few classmates, give the invitations to the Director or teacher to give to parents.  This will avoid hurt feelings.

• If your child’s birthday is during the summer months, your child can still celebrate their birthday with the class. Pick a date, perhaps the 6 month mark or the month prior, and follow the guidelines above.
