Quote of the Month

May 6 - Muffins with Mom


The morning of Friday, May 6, we invite all the moms to take time out of their busy morning and enjoy a muffin with their child(ren) during drop off time. 

Please refer to the email sent earlier letting you know where the muffins will be located for each age group.

May 9-13 - Staff Appreciation Week


We may be biased but we think we have the best staff around and we were here to celebrate them ALL! May 9-13 is Staff Appreciation Week, families are welcome to share their gratitude with our hard-working staff.

May 20 - Polly Panda 500 Parade

We are super excited to be able to have our annual Polly Panda 500 Parade again this year without any COVID restrictions. All classrooms will be participating in this year’s parade. The theme this year is Movies.

Classrooms will create costumes and props to go along with the movie their classroom has chosen.

The parade will take place in the Polly Panda parking lot and will begin at 4:00 p.m on Friday, May 20. Parking for the parade is available in the Bridgford building parking lot, on Parker Ave., the spaces facing Parker Ave. in the Ardsley parking lot, and in the grass area in front of the playground.

We hope everyone will be able to join us for this fun event and stay till the end to see all of the hard work and creativity each classroom will display.  If you plan on taking your child after the parade you must let their teacher know. 

May 23-27 - Spirit Week

Each classroom will be participating in spirit week to gear up for the 37th annual running of the Polly Panda 500 race.
  • Monday wear black and white
  • Tuesday wear your favorite color
  • Wednesday wear a costume
  • Thursday wear stripes
  • Friday wear your classroom T-Shirt

May 27 - 37th Annual Polly Panda 500 Race

We are THRILLED for the 37th Annual running of the Polly Panda 500! All children who are 2 and older will be participating in the race. On this day please bring your child’s “bike” to school for race day. No motorized bikes are allowed. ALL CHILDREN MUST HAVE A HELMET IN ORDER TO RACE.  Please label the bike and helmet with your child’s name on them. 

Teddy Bears, Chipmunks, Butterflies, and Penguins bikes can be taken to the back deck. Jellyfish, Sea Turtles, and Dolphins bikes can be taken to the area outside their back door.  The Daisies and Sunflowers bikes can be taken to the Bridgford deck area. Look for your child’s classroom pit sign as to where to put the bikes.

Each classroom will have “practice times’ to ride their bikes in the parking in the morning during their classroom outside time.


The first race will start at 3:00.  As with the parade if you take your child after the race you must let their teacher know.  Parking is just like with the parade.  We encourage everyone to join us and to stay for all of the races.  The children love having fans cheer them on as they cross the finish line.
                             

May 30 - Closed for Memorial Day



Polly Panda and Bridgford will be closed for Memorial Day,  Hoping everyone has a relaxing day off and will get to spend time with family and friends. Thank you to all who have and currently serve our country!
