Lobby Face Lift

What would summer be without construction at Growing Tree? In June we are giving the lobby an update . We will be painting, re doing the floors and getting a new front desk.  Sprout 1, Bud, Branch, and Blossom classrooms will also be re-painted. We anticipate the construction to last approximately 3 weeks. The majority of the work will be done at night and on weekends.

Family Surveys

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to fill out the Parent Survey! We really appreciate your feedback. After reviewing the surveys, several of you expressed an interest in receiving information regarding community resources and parent educational opportunities.
I would like to introduce you to the Community Resource Center. It is a nonprofit agency in Bend that teaches parenting skills to parents and caregivers of children of all ages in Central Oregon. The Community Resource Center also publishes a resource booklet complete with all of the family agencies available to families. I have linked their website for you here. It is also available under the PARENT tab on our website. Their community resource booklet is available at the front desk, at this time it is not online. Please take a minute to view their calendar and take advantage of their services.

Summertime

Please make sure your child has the following at school
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat and sunglasses(optional)
  • At least one change of clothes in their cubbies because Growing Tree kids love water
I am in the process of applying to QRIS to receive a 4 Star Quality rating for the Center. Thank you for taking the time to fill out the Parent Survey. The information will be included in our QRIS portfolio. In addition   we will use the information to better serve you and the Center

Volunteer Hours

Do you need volunteer hours? If you are interested in this job please let me know. Here are a couple of ideas:
  • Dump Run
  • Pick up and install beach sand in the sandbox on the Sprout /Bud playground
  • Help move furniture during lobby construction
