Hello CG Families!

We have some important updates and messages for you this week.

First, our wonderful Miss Casey and Mr. Zach are both going off to new adventures, and are leaving us! Miss Casey has found a position in a new field, and Mr. Zach has decided to relocate out of state! They have given us so much and we wish them the best. If you have any messages/pictures/well wishes for them that you would like to share, please email them to us.

To help us out in the interim, Mr. Josh and Ms. Katie will be back so make sure to say hello!

With our classrooms growing (especially for the summer!) we are hiring. If there is anyone you know who would be an amazing addition to our teacher family, please let them know to contact us with their resume.


Some Nuts and Bolts - Weather and Drop-Off/Pick-Up

Spring has Sprung at Common Ground Childcare, and with it some exciting weather! We just wanted to put out a few reminders now that the days are longer and we are getting warmer temperatures.

  • Please remember to send your child with a jacket. Even if the morning is warm, high winds in the afternoon can make play time chilly! If they do not want to wear it in the morning, you can tuck it into their backpack.

  • Rain boots and Sneakers: Even if it isn’t raining currently, if it rained the night before or in the morning the ground will be wet and there will be puddles! Please send appropriate weather gear so that your child can play safely and comfortably with their friends.

  • REMINDER: The days are longer, so the afternoons are mostly outside and totally fun at Common Ground! If you would like to sign up for late pick-up, there is a place to do so here. Late pick-up is part of your tuition, but we do have fees for if you are late without letting us know, so please make sure to sign up!


A Family Fundraiser Thank-You and a BYOD

Our Chipotle Fundraiser earned us $108! That is a huge deal! We love how enthusiastic you all are when supporting our school, and can’t thank you enough.

We would like to actually do dinner with you TOGETHER this Friday!!

Celebrate Earth Day with us on Friday, April 22nd and bring a picnic dinner to Common Ground! We will have limited tables and tents set up from 4:30pm until 6:30pm (unless we are having so much fun that we need to extend it!), so bring a picnic blanket and dinner for your family!

While we will not be providing dinner, we will have jugs with water and gatorade available! Please pack a reusable cup so that we can show the earth some love on Earth Day!

Rain Date for this event will be Friday, April 29th!


Summer Camp at Common Ground!

We still have space in our AMAZING Summer Camp! If you know any families near you with school-age kids who are looking to give their kids a summer they’ll never forget, please have them send an interest form!

Our Summer Camp is for rising first graders to rising fourth graders, but we do have a "leadership" camper role that is up for discussion for older kids.
Summer at Common Ground Childcare is simple. It’s sunshine and sunscreen. It’s dirt and chlorine and tie-dye shirts. It’s learning to trust yourself, be brave, and try new things without fear of failure.


Our program runs from June 6th through August 19th for rising kindergarteners - 11 full weeks of summer fun! We only take off Monday, July 4th, but are otherwise open every day during the summer.


Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up…

Please make sure you check out our letter from our board of trustees for information on how to BEST show our teachers some appreciation!

You can access that here: https://www.commongroundchildcare.org/teacher-bonus-fund


That’s all for this week! Check our our blog for fun activities and updates!

Love, Love, Love,

Your CG Family
