Fall has come and with it cooler and damper weather. Please make sure you provide warm clothing, mittens, hats and coats according to the forecasted weather for the day.    Please visit our Facebook pages, Discovery Preschool & Childcare Center, as well as Discovery Preschool & Infant Center for any new post and updates. Some of our teachers use class Dojo in their classrooms to keep parents up to date on daily news and special events, please ask your child's teacher for more information.   Parent input and involvement is extremely important to us. Please feel free to call or email us with any suggestions, questions, concerns, or constructive criticism.  We continue to review and update our program policies, curriculum, assessment methods and classroom environments, and are making changes when needed that we feel will improve our program. Your comments are valued and very important to us!	Developing a love for books is very important in the early years. Books are always available to children and story times are provided throughout the day. We take time to discuss the pictures we see and what we have read.
