Dearest Families,
Happy New Year!! Welcome 2019!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your friends and family. I am sure there were many wonderful memories that were made during this magical time. I know I enjoyed every minute with my family!
Our Toys for Tots was a success again with collecting over 80 toys for the children in need this holiday season! The Marines came to talk to the children about Toys for Tots. The children also helped pack up the Marines’ van for the delivery of the toys to the children in need. Thank you so much for making our “Giving Project” a huge success!
We also participated this year in the “Cards for Heroes,” which are child-made Holiday Cards sent out to the troops overseas for the Holiday Season. We made 132 beautiful cards for the troops! They were absolutely adorable and heart warming! Here just a few of the many cute ones!
With the New Year upon us, it is the time to look at the New Year ahead and start planning for what we have in store. January is the month that Merryhill School starts priority registration for the new school year that will start June 3, 2019. It is hard to believe that we will already start re-registering all of you on Monday, January 7th, 2019 for the new school year. You will have almost 3 weeks to save a seat for your child before we open it up to the outside families at our Open House Saturday, January 26th. Everyone needs to re-register in order to hold a seat for June 2019 – June 2020 school year. We will hold our annual Open House and registration for the outside families on Saturday, January 26th from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. You will want to make sure you save your spot before the outside families come and the classrooms fill up. Last year we fill up and started a waiting list AT the Open House. With that being said, register before January 26th or you will be on a waiting list and won’t be able to continue past June 2019.
During the 3 week priority registration period for our internal families we will also offer a great discount! This year we are waiving the activity fee! That is a $100.00 discount!
We have started the second half of the school year and there are lots of fantastic learning experiences ahead of us. Every year we have our annual snow day here at Merryhill Preschool. Yes, real snow gets delivered to our backyard and the children get to wear their snow outfits and play in the snow! So far, we have the Snow Day planned for January 11th starting at 9:15 am. I will keep you all posted if it rains and we decide to postpone it. Bring your cameras, caps, hats and gloves and join in the fun!! There will be tons of real snow dumped in our playground!! Not only will we play in the snow, but we will also learn about it using our Links To Learning Curriculum!
I have a couple important reminders…
For our children who are graduating to Kindergarten in the new school year, visit the Elementary front office for information on how to reserve your spot! There will be a Kindergarten Orientation on the Elementary side on January 16th from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. This would be the perfect time to learn more about the program. Keep an eye out for Karen Cooper’s email. Also, on Thursday January 17th from 5:00 – 7:00 pm the Elementary will hold an Open House. At this time you will be able to go into the Kindergarten classrooms and look around. If you cannot make it that night, you can always schedule a personal tour with Ms. Cooper and Vice Principal Joan Sousae. Please contact the Elementary Principal or Vice Principal for more details. Their contact number is 408-254-1282. You can also reach them at:
karen.cooper@nlcinc.com
Joan.sousae@nlcinc.com
As always, if you have any questions or concerns my door is always open. We are here to help you and “our” children in any way we can. Everyone at Merryhill is special and important to us. Let us continue to make this a great school year!
“All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds we sow today.”

Parent Referral Program:
If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes.
When friends ask you about your child’s experiences at Merryhill School, what type of success stories do you share? Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Do you talk about the new levels of self and social confidence your child has gained thanks to our encouraging atmosphere?
*For every new child you refer who enrolls at our school for three months, you’ll receive one FREE week of tuition for your child*.
It’s our way of saying thanks for doing what comes naturally – singing the praises of your child and sharing your experiences with the Merryhill School difference!!

Topics: Language & Literacy
As children begin the toddler stage, they respond to familiar words by shouting, gesturing or reaching for objects. As their language skills develop, their babbles evolve into a mix of real and made-up words and phrases. They learn to express their needs and wants with language and rely less on[.....]
