Director’s Corner

Monthly Character Value: Accepts Responsibility: You can

count on us.

Dear Parents,

What a busy time this is. Nature, like us, is busy as well. The children are

noticing the changes going on outdoors. Spring is so beautiful and bustling with

color and activity. I’m sure many of you are spending parts of your weekend

planting and gardening. Karen Madewell said, “Nature is the best medicine for

serenity, peace, calmness, stillness. It’s good for the heart.” Let’s take time to

observe the beauty of the day and wonder through the eyes of our children.

I am so excited and proud of our center. Please come by and tell me what

Childrens Lighthouse means to you, and share some triumphs and memories. I love

being a part of Childrens Lighthouse, and I feel so much gratitude for being here.

Thank you for always showing appreciation and support. Our goal is for this

to be a great place for your children to grow up. They are developing friendships

that could very well last throughout their lives.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely yours,

Cathryn Davidson
