Events & Adventures
Fall
Fire Department Visit (October)
October is Fire Prevention Month. That’s when the fire department visits our center and shows off their fire trucks and equipment. How exciting! Our curriculum features lots of learning activities about safety and the responsibilities of our first responders.
Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences (October)
Meet with the teachers and discuss your child’s developmental progress. This is the perfect time to compare your ASQ assessments of your child with your teacher’s observations in the classroom, set developmental goals or just ask questions.
Halloween Parade & Parties (October)
Get dressed up and show your costume as we parade in and around the center in your favorite costumes. Family members are welcome to join the parade and participate in the classroom parties afterwards.
Annual Parent Meeting (October)
Do you know that ImagiNation Learning Center is governed by a Board that is comprised of volunteering parents? At the Annual Parent Meeting the board presents information about different aspects of the center operations including the financial status of the company, program initiatives, staff appreciation and development, and family survey results. This event offers a great opportunity to see the ILC Board in action, especially if you are interested in joining the Board.
Fall Picture Day
Each Fall, we hire a professional photographer to take pictures of individual children and a group picture of each class. We accommodate sibling pictures too. Wear your best and don’t forget to bring your smile!
Holiday Luncheon (November)
We invite you to join us for our traditional Thanksgiving Feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, pies, and more! Bring your family and friends and enjoy this special day right in your child’s classroom.
Winter
Holiday Classroom Parties (December)
At the end of our curriculum week ‘Celebrations Around the World”, we invite our families to join us in the classroom to celebrate the holiday season in our own special way. Party food, fun games and gift giving may be happening in your room – see your child’s teacher for more details!
Dental Health Month (February)
February is Dental Health Month and we have an entire week dedicated to check out our teeth. In playful and creative ways, we will learn about the importance of brushing, flossing and good eating habits that keep our teeth healthy. Of course, we will have a dentist come visit our classrooms to show us how to do it just right.
Valentine’s Day Parties (February)
What a great way to celebrate our friends and those we love! Each teaching team organizes their own unique classroom party. Valentine’s card exchanges, friendship songs and games, ‘hearty’ art activities, and some yummy treats will be part of the classroom festivities.
Spring
Spring Picture Day
In the Spring, we have our professional photographer come back to the center to take another set of pictures of each child. It is amazing how much they can grow within just a few months. “Say Cheese!”
St. Patrick’s Day Celebration (March)
Once again it’s party time at ImagiNation Learning Center! Each classroom will celebrate in their own special way through games, fun activities and party treats. Wear green or you may be pinched!
Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences (April)
Another round of conferences is scheduled in Spring to discuss the developmental progress of your child. Find out how many new words your toddler has picked up recently. Look at the art portfolio of your two-year old. What seems to be your preschooler’s most favorite learning activity? Are there any differences between home and school? All that and more can be discussed during your one-on-one time with the teacher.
Teacher Appreciation Week (May)
We love our teachers and want them to know it! Special lunches, surprise gifts and thank you notes are shared with our teachers this week. Join in and show them how much they are appreciated!
Mother’s Day Celebration (May)
