Happy New Year to You and Your Family!
All of the staff of Real Life Nursery School and Kindergarten extend our thanks for all the wonderful Christmas cards and gifts. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Our wishes go out to your families for a Blessed New Year!
BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE!!! BUNDLE UP!!!
Be sure to send in warm clothes for your child to play outside! All children should have mittens, snow pants, boots, a hat and a winter coat. Fresh air is wonderful for the children and we go outside each day unless the wind chill is 20 degrees or below. We also travel back to the farm… even in the winter! There’s a great mini hill for sledding on… and besides, the animals get lonely! In the event that it is too cold to play outside the children are able to play in our basements.
FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR CHILDREN & STAFF
Please check your child daily for signs and symptoms for illness. If your child has had a fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or discharge from eyes, they need to remain at home until they have been free from these symptoms for 24 hours without taking medication. All cots, tables, chairs, and toys are sanitized daily to prevent the spread of germs at school. Children and teachers wash their hands continuously through the day to prevent the spread of germs.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Real Life Nursery School & Kindergarten will be closed on Monday, January 20, 2025.
Tuition is due as usual for this day as stated in the Parent Handbook.
REAL LIFE REGISTRATION INFORMATION
​​It’s already time to start thinking about this Summer and next Fall! Registration for this Summer and the School year of 2025/2026 will begin on February 1st, 2025 for current families. Registration for new families will open on February 14, 2025.
When Registration opens on February 1st, there will be three different programs we will offer for your children. At this time, you will also be able to enroll older siblings (6-14 years) in our Summer Camp Program on the Farm and/or younger siblings (2.5 years-kindergarten age) in our Junior Camp or School Year Programs.
The programs Real Life offers are as follows…
• Junior Camp Summer Program (ages 2.5 through Kindergarten). This program is housed in the Nursery School. Children travel back to the farm with their classrooms each day.
• Farm Summer Camp (ages 6 though 14 years). This program is housed on the farm. Children will be on the farm for the entire day.
• School Year of 2025/2026- Little Lambs (2.5-3 yrs) Preschool Pals (3-4 yrs), Pre-Kindergarten (4-5 yrs), and Kindergarten (children turning 5 by December 1st).
Children who are currently in Kindergarten are eligible to enroll in our “Farm Summer Camp Program” or remain in our “Junior Camp Program.” Children who are currently in the Little Lambs, Preschool Pals, or Kindergarten Readiness programs are eligible to enroll in our “Junior Camp” summer program which is housed out of the nursery school building and of course includes daily visits back to the farm!
All of our Registration forms are located here on our website. Here you can read more about each program Real Life offers.
• At the top of the website you will see a tab that says “Parent Portal.”
• Click on the “Parent Portal” Tab and log into your Parent Portal. Starting February 1 you will see a button that says "Register a Child". This link will walk you through the process of registering children for any program they are eligible for.
• If you are registering your child for both Summer and next school year, both Registration forms MUST be filled out.
• Once you complete your forms online, all forms
MUST BE PRINTED and BROUGHT INTO THE SCHOOL IN ORDER TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION.
• If you are registering a child for the Farm Summer Camp, Registration forms DO NOT need be printed. Registration for this program is online only.
PLEASE NOTE that all forms for Junior Camp and the 2025/26 School Year MUST to be printed off and returned to the school to hold your child’s spot. Registering online only will not hold your child’s place. All of our school families have a PRIORITY REGISTRATION from February 1st through February 13th. Please know that waiting to register until after February 14th could result in your child being placed on a WAIT LIST.
Please stop by the front desk if you have any questions.
