As we prepare for the new school year, we wanted to extend a warm welcome to our new families and a sincere thank you to our returning families. We had such a wonderful summer and are looking forward to another successful year of learning, fun, and growth.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15. Books are an easy and interactive way to expand your child's awareness and appreciation of Hispanic culture. We've gathered three stories to read with your child: Coquí in the City by Nomar Perez, Round is a Tortilla: A Book of Shapes by Roseanne Greenfield Thong, and Camera Full of Wishes by Matt de la Peña.

Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is still seeking a new preschool for their child? When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!

As it starts to get cooler and we are planning extra outdoor time to take full advantage of the fall season. Please make sure your child has a weather appropriate change of clothes in their cubby and outerwear when applicable.

Remember to drive slowly and cautiously through our parking lots. There are several small children and their families in the parking lot throughout the day, and we want to be sure that everyone is safe!

Please keep in mind that the safest shoes for children to wear at school are tennis shoes. Sandals, open-toe and slick-soled shoes may not be worn to school. This policy is stated in our Parent Handbook under the Personal Belongings/Clothing section. Please do not allow children to wear flip-flops or open-toed sandals to school. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but our main objective is to protect the children.

If you’re not currently receiving photos and daily reports for your child you can easily change this by downloading the Links 2 Home app on your phone. Just type ‘Links 2 Home’ in the search bar for the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading Links 2 Home, you can register with the same email address that you used to enroll your child in our school.

On May 26, 2021, the Swanton family's lives changed forever. Their youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a brain tumor called a Pediatric Clival Chordoma. There is no treatment protocol for chordoma, especially in children. Sloane underwent 2 brain surgeries, 3 rounds of chemotherapy and was placed on a ventilator twice. Unfortunately, the tumor stopped responding and started to grow despite all of the medical interventions she received. Sloane lost her battle to chordoma on September 14, 2021, at only 18 months old. Sloane was a student at Enchanted Care Learning Center, and we are proud to support her family by raising funds to support pediatric chordoma research in her honor.
