Wee Wuns Newsletter

The miracle of Christmas is often best reflected in the eyes of a young child. At Wee Wuns we are richly blessed, for we have the opportunity to experience this glorious season with our students. Thank you for giving us that opportunity.

We are beyond grateful to the Coffey family, owners of Intex Flooring for blessing Wee Wuns with beautiful new carpet in our Toddler Enrichment classroom. We hope you enjoy some pictures of this amazing Toddler play area.

Being surrounded by the love of Christ, laughter and the joy of children makes our world here at Wee Wuns a happy place. The sound of the children singing their favorite Christmas songs will be filling our halls with the joy and excitement of the season before we know it.

We hope your world is filled with the same joy and excitement. The staff of Wee Wuns wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas, touched with wonder and wrapped in love.

Feel free stop by the Wee Wuns main entrance (near Marla's office) for a festive picture with your child! We have set up a Blessing Tree in this area. The Blessing Tree is filled with ornaments with a variety of blessings written on them, from classroom supplies to monetary contributions. If you are inclined to choose an ornament as a Christmas blessing to Wee Wuns, we would be grateful for your blessing! Your contribution can be dropped off at the office before the Christmas holidays.

Preschool Christmas parties will be on Wednesday, December 18th and Thursday, December 19th. Chapel will begin at 1:00 and the parties will begin at 1:15 p.m.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of you who attended and contributed to making our 33rd annual Fall Festival a success this year! We had an amazing turn out of past and present families as well as many families from the community.

We are also grateful to all of you who participated in and spread the word about our online silent auction. We were pleased with the amount of enthusiastic participation the online auction received. We are continuing to finalize the amount of money raised from the festival and we will share that information as soon as we are able. Funds raised from the Fall Festival are used to help us keep tuition costs low, implement campus and classroom improvements, provide teacher training, and to support our wonderful staff and children.

None of this would have been possible without our families and the hard work and dedication of our Helping Hands volunteers!! This amazing group of individuals committed many hours to planning and executing all of the details that made the day so much fun!

You may authorize another person to pick up your child by providing a dated note with your signature authorizing the child’s release to someone else on that day. If the individual picking up your child is unknown to the teacher, he/she will be required to present a driver’s license to the teacher during pick-up. The information on the driver's license will be verified with the information provided to us from the parent.

If you have extenuating circumstances and need to contact us by phone to authorize another person to pick up your child, you must be able to identify and verify that you are the parent/guardian giving the driver’s license number and other identifying information of the person picking up the child.

Wee Wuns will not release a child to an unauthorized person, even if the person is known to the child. We will ask for photo identification such as a Texas Driver’s License to verify identification. We cannot release any child without prior notification and verification.

Tuition is due on the 1st of every month. Tuition is considered LATE after the 10th of the month.

A $25 LATE CHARGE WILL BE APPLIED TO EACH CHILD'S ACCOUNT FOR ANY TUITION PAID AFTER THE 10TH OF EACH MONTH.

An opportunity to make a reservation for 2024 - 2025 school year will be available at the end of January. All classes will be filled on a first come, first served basis. More information will be sent home closer to the end of January.

Merry Christmas! We are well into our Christmas Story now and I love sharing the meaning of the season with your precious children! I wish a peaceful and blessed holiday for each of you.

In Him,

Mrs. McLain

This month in chapel we are focusing on the birth of Jesus- the BEST GIFT EVER!

We will learn Bible stories about the shepherds going to see the baby, the wisemen following the star to see Jesus, and we will have the Happy Birthday Jesus Nativity presented by our 4-year-old classes.

We will sing There Was a Little Baby, by Rafi, J is for Jesus, and J is for Jesus, by LifeWay Worship -on Apple Music

Our memory verse this month is “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15

Some things to do at home are:

Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, we have so many fun Christmas traditions. [Child’s name] and I love doing them all together! While we’re making fun memories this Christmas, help us remember that Jesus is the one we’re celebrating. Jesus is special, because Jesus is Your Son!”

While on the go, take turns telling each other happy news. It can be anything happy! Talk about how God sent an angel to tell Mary some VERY happy news. The angel told Mary she was going to have God’s Son, Jesus!

Add lots of bubble bath to bath time. Ask your child if they can cover their entire body with bubbles so they look like an angel. Say: “God sent an angel to tell Mary that she was going to have a baby. The baby was Jesus, God’s Son!”

Dear Wee Wuns families,

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you I will be stepping down from my role as Spanish teacher due to unforeseen family circumstances. This decision was not made lightly, as I have truly enjoyed working with your children and being part of their learning journey of the Spanish language for the last eight years at Wee Wuns.

I am grateful for the support and trust you’ve shown me during my time here and I will do my best to ensure a smooth transition by working closely with the school to assist in any way I can.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to have been part of the Wee Wuns community and will always carry fond memories of the time spent with your children.

Before leaving for the Christmas holidays, we will have the opportunity to practice together a Spanish Carol song, “Navidad, Navidad, dulce Navidad”, and giving warm goodbye hugs in our final class together.

Thank you for your understanding and don’t be surprised if one day at a random place you see your kid giving a good handshake saying “Bien, gracias, ¿ y tú?” J.

Please let your children know that Ms. Mesa AND Curro will always carry them in our hearts.

Warm wishes for the holidays,

Ms. Mesa and Curro.
