We are happy to help celebrate your child’s birthday. If you would like to bring a simple snack for your child’s birthday celebration, please let the teacher know the day before. We usually celebrate birthdays at afternoon snack or lunchtime, and you are of course welcome to join us. However, you should coordinate your plans with the teachers to ensure minimal interruption to the school day. Because children can easily get over-excited, we try to keep the celebrations low-key and simple. For this reason, we ask that you not bring in candy, balloons, party favors, decorations, hats, or outside entertainment. If you are planning to bring in (or send with your child) a snack to share with the class, please double-check with the teachers so they can apprise you of any food allergies in the class.
