JULY 2023 NEWSLETTER
Happy 4th of July
JULY TUITION
Payment for tuition/fees is exclusively accepted through our tuition software, and it will appear as a draft from your bank by Lincoln Savings Bank.
A late fee of $50.00 per month will be imposed on the 6th. If tuition remains unpaid for two consecutive weeks, the child may be withdrawn, and the spot will promptly be filled with a family from the waitlist.
Absences cannot be compensated by attending on an alternative day.
Invoices will be sent to the parent/guardian’s email on record. A New Day CDC prioritizes environmental sustainability and, therefore, issues receipts via email to the individual financially responsible each month during the tuition processing. These receipts contain all necessary information for taxes, HSA, and FSA purposes.
Tuition may be adjusted when necessary, with a complete 30-day written notice to the administration office of A New Day CDC from the parents. Kindly direct written emails to irma@anewdaycdc.com.
In instances where circumstances or hardships make it challenging to pay tuition, please reach out to Irma to arrange a payment schedule and sign a payment agreement. No refunds or prorates are issued for absences, adverse weather days, vacations, teacher in-service days, holidays, or any day the school is closed due to unforeseen circumstances, including closures initiated by state officials, CDC, or administration.

SUMMER PRESCHOOL SCHEDULE
Our school schedule changes during the summer months. We will be going outside first thing each morning and will be covering the curriculum in the afternoons. The summer temperature is too hot so do not spend any time outside in the afternoons.
Since we go outside first thing in the mornings, we ask that children who arrive after 8:00 am PLEASE BE SURE TO EAT breakfast before arriving at school since all staff is required to be outside.
SUMMER DAYS
Each child needs to have a sun hat to wear during outside time for added sun protection, a bottle of sunscreen and a bottle of insect repellent to keep at the school. Please be sure to label all your child’s personal belongings such as backpacks, lunchboxes, towels, sun hats, and sunscreen with your child’s first and last name.
SUMMER SPLASH DAYS
SINCE WE WILL BE CLOSED ON TUESDAY, JULY 4TH, MRS. MARIA AND MRS. ANOUSH’S CLASS WILL HAVE SPLASH DAY ON THURSDAY.-THIS IS FOR THIS WEEK ONLY!!!
SPLASH DAYS FOR THE REST OF JULY WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE.
Weather permitting, we will have Splash Days every Tuesday & Wednesday mornings during the months of July. Please note that if it is raining on the mornings of Splash Days, WE WILL NOT HAVE SPLASH DAY. The rain water tends to be too cold for the children to enjoy.

ARRIVALS & ATTENDANCE: It is important for your child to attend regularly in order to fulfill your child’s need for consistency and order. This also enables your child to participate fully in class lessons and other learning experiences. For this reason we ask that all children arrive at A New Day CDC before 8:30 a.m. If you know your child will not be attending for the day, please give us a COURTESY CALL by 8:30 am at 512-264-7373.
PARENT REFERRALS: The greatest gift you can give us is the referral of a new family. We have just a few openings left for our 2023-2024 School Year. A New Day CDC will offer a $300 tuition credit to any family that you refer once their child has been enrolled for 6 weeks.
PARENT RESOURCES
https://www.verywellfamily.com/three-day-potty-training-tips
If your child is ready to be out of diapers, congratulations! Using the toilet is an important skill that further develops your child’s independence and increases their confidence. The purpose of toilet training is to teach your children how to recognize the sensation they feel in their bodies before they need to use the toilet, as well as how to use the toilet, put on and off their clothing, and wash their hands.
The most important thing to remember is that potty training is a process and your child will have accidents. However, assuming they are developmentally and emotionally ready for toilet training, if you stick to this method, your child will be using the potty consistently in just three days. Learn more about how to quickly potty train your child.
CHOOSE THE WEEKEND
You will need three days in a row where you are home with your child. For working parents, this method works best over a three-day weekend or a time when you can take off a day of work to add on to a regular Saturday/Sunday.
You will be inside for most of the weekend, so it is important to mentally prepare yourself to spend lots of time with your child. Have fun with them! If you can't block out three days, on the final day, discuss what you have been doing with your childcare provider and ask them to continue the process.
2023 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
To ensure the optimal well-being of your child, it is imperative that our staff maintains good physical and emotional health. As our school adheres to a carefully planned budget to fulfill its financial commitments promptly, the following holidays and school closures will be observed as paid holidays. We will provide advance notice through posted memos regarding the specific days these holidays will occur. In instances where one of these holidays falls on a weekend, the corresponding day off will be observed on either Friday or Monday. Despite the fixed costs averaged over the calendar year, please note that there will be NO reduction in tuition for these scheduled breaks. We encourage you to retain a copy of the calendar below for reference, allowing your family to plan accordingly.
