Splash Days are Back!
Summertime has arrived and that means Splash Days at Polly Panda! During back deck playtime, classes will enjoy water fun! There will be a sprinkler, water toys, and lots of fun! Splash days will begin the week of June 6.
Please check with your child’s teacher to see which days the class will be splashing. If you would like for your child to participate please send in a bag with your child’s name swimsuit, splash shoes (the deck gets hot and the children must have some type of shoes on), towel, sunscreen and swim diapers if your child is not potty trained.
Please label all items with your child’s name.

Employees of the Month
Please put your hands together to help celebrate our Employee of the Month for June is Beyoncé Kent.
Beyoncé has been part of our Panda team for two years. She currently works as an infant caregiver in our youngest infant room, the Monkeys. When Beyoncé first joined us she worked as a float with all age groups. She quickly found that her true love is working with the infants and toddlers. She enjoys being able to watch each one grow and develop into their own personality and seeing them achieve the many milestones at this age. She is extremely patient and takes great pride in spending one on one time with each child in her care.
Beyoncé also enjoys getting to know parents and being able to communicate with them about their child’s day.
Beyoncé is currently enrolled at Anderson University where she is majoring in Medical Bio-Chemistry. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, playing soccer, and spending time with her family and friends. Please join us in congratulating Beyoncé and thank her for taking such great care of our little ones!
