Childcare Center News: May 2026

Director’s Message

Dear Child Care Center Families:

Exciting news! We are now able to take debit and credit card payments. Credit cards will be charged a 3% fee from Procare. If you have any questions, please check in with Ashley or Mardi.

  • For Children, Infant—PreK: Reminder that the $60 Activity Fee is charged in May. The fee offsets the cost of special activities throughout the year.

  • For Children, School-Age: Reminder that the $200 Activity Fee is due June 1. The fee offsets the cost of summer activities and events.

We still have several accounts with a balance. Please ensure your balance is at $0 by the end of the week.

As summer is approaching, we wanted to inform parents that there are teachers that will be going home for the summer and returning when school starts. As a result, you may see new faces in your child’s classroom. Once schedules have been finalized, we will update the teacher board so you will be able to view who your child’s teacher will be!

We are looking for donations of puzzles (with all the pieces). We also need materials to fill up our science centers. Take your child on a nature walk and collect larger rocks and leaves. If you are going on vacation, collect shells and sand! 

As school begins winding down, sickness remains a persistent presence. Please take time to read over the child care center’s illness policy.

Sincerely,
Ashley Abraham
CCC Director

Teacher of the Month

We are proud to recognize Casie Romine-Rush as our Teacher of the Month! Casie is a dedicated and nurturing infant room teacher who brings warmth, patience, and consistency to our youngest learners every single day.

As a mother of three, with two of her children here at the center, Casie brings both personal and professional experience to her role. She has a natural ability to comfort, engage, and care for each baby as if they were her own. Her attentiveness to their needs and her commitment to providing a safe, loving environment does not go unnoticed.

Casie is also a wonderful team player. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to her coworkers and supports those around her with a positive attitude. Her reliability, kindness, and strong work ethic make her an essential part of our center.

We are so grateful to have Casie as part of our team. Thank you for the incredible care you provide to our children and families! Congratulations, Casie!

Help Us Show Appreciation!

Celebrate our amazing teachers with us during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 18-22. We want to celebrate the dedicated educators who nurture and inspire our children every day. Please join us in thanking our amazing teachers for their patience, creativity, and commitment to creating a safe, loving learning environment. A handmade card, a thoughtful note, or a small gesture of gratitude means the world to them! Watch for more information in the coming weeks on how you can support this amazing event.

Happy Birthday!

A Message from Children’s Ministry

Get ready for a “VINE TIME” at Vacation Bible School! Welcome to Rainforest Falls—where kids will be exploring the nature of God!

This summer, explore the nature of God by: meeting new friends! Doing amazing experiments! Playing creative games! Eating super-fun snacks! Having surprising adventures! Hearing, singing and dancing to incredible music!

VBS is set, for the Child Care Center children, on four fabulous Mondays in June (June 1, 8, 22 & 29) from 9:30 to 11:30 AM.

Monday, June 1: God is our creator. WOW, God!
Monday, June 8: God knows everything. WOW, God!
Monday, June 22: God is our safe place. WOW, God!
Monday, June 29: God is forever. WOW, God!

Want to help us collect some stuff? As part of our mission and service work, we invite all the kids to participate in our donation drive. We are collecting 24-count crayons for our community partner, Project 66, for their Back-to-School Bash later in the summer! Monetary donations accepted also. You can find more information at fccedmond.org/vbs

Blessings to all!
