Fall Fun

Welcome!

            Welcome to Nursery at Visitation Academy. We are looking forward to seeing you all next week to begin a wonderful year full of learning, creating, and making new and lasting friendships. Above you will see details about uniforms, arrival and dismissal times, and an overview of our program. If there is something you are unclear about, please don't hesitate to contact the office with any questions you may have.

• Please remember that during the week of September 9th, Nursery will be held from 9:00 to 10:30, instead of our regular 11:30 dismissal. 

The Starry Night

During the month of January, we will be exploring the season of winter. We will learn how animals prepare themselves for the colder weather and hibernation. Children will practice their matching skills with many activities. In the month of January we will also be celebrating Chinese New Year.

In February we will begin a study of a number of famous artists including Vincent Van Gogh and Georgia O'Keefe. We will watch as the Groundhog predicts the coming of spring and whether we will have another 6 weeks of winter. February is also Dental Health Month. We will be focusing on the importance of regular dental care.

As we welcome spring in the month of March we will explore mixing colors and St. Patrick's Day.

April brings the excitement of the Easter season to our class. We will discover the life cycle of a butterfly.

The month of May will be the springboard for many Mother's Day activities and in June we will do the same for Father's DAy.

I am looking forward to seeing all the exciting experiences and continued achievements your daughters will make over the remaining months in our Nursery Program.

Welcome! All of us at Visitation Academy are delighted to welcome you and your daughters to our school family. The girls have been getting along nicely together and right now we are working on following a daily routine. For the next couple of months we will be talking about the seasons of fall and winter, Thanksgiving as well as Christmas and the birth of baby Jesus.

Clothing and Uniforms

Please make sure that all of your daughter's belongings are labeled with first and last name. Please follow the proper uniform code. No earrings except studs, and no nail polish or jewellery.

Your daughter should have a slicker with a hood. We DO NOT ALLOW umbrellas for safety reasons.

We ask that each parent send extra clothing in a large Ziploc bag.

Each girl needs an oversized t-shirt for art that will fit over her uniform.
