Happy Valentines Day to all our Learn 'N Playday families!! 💗
REMINDER: NO SCHOOL for LNPD or AISD on Monday 2/17 or Tuesday 2/18 next week.
Party week is always a great time at LNPD. The kids got to decorate their goody bags, decorate cookies, eat lots of yummy party snacks, play games like BINGO, Knock the Valentine cups over, Hot Potato, and play games on the classroom Smart Boards.
Thank you for helping us make the parties a success by donating the goodies, brining in the kids Valentines and for dressing the kids in Valentine colors or hearts. I hope everyone had a fun time!
February Scholastic booklets went home this week and orders will be due by 2/21.
An email went home this week with some information on registration for next year. We are hoping to have everything ready to advertise in the next few weeks. As a reminder, current LNPD families and AISD employees have the opportunity to enroll their current LNPD child or siblings before registration is opened to our Eleyo community waiting list.
Please remember to put your LNPD car tag on your rearview mirror. We have several of families with the same car, new cars, and other family members picking up and we do not always recognize who you are. The car tag helps to keep the flow of cars go more smoothly.
Please continue to try and be on time. We have had a lot of lateness to LNPD in the mornings. Our morning routines consist of: 1. Brining the kids inside 2. Going to the restroom 3. Washing hands 4. Going to classrooms for circle time where learning begins and jobs for the day are assigned.
Coming late is disruptive to these routines and separates our teachers from both being in the classroom. Your help with this is greatly appreciated!

It was Valentine Themes for all the classrooms. All the classes were counting with many hearts and writing words like candy, love, red, heart, flowers, or pink. Conversation hearts or crystal hearts were in the classroom Sensory tables and red or purple colored water was in all the water tables too. The kids had a fun week showing love and kindness to all their friends and sharing their Valentines too.
Throughout the school year you are always able to update your status to auto-pay. However, if you choose to pay manually, you can make your payment at anytime in the two week period from the time of invoice, up until the 28th of every month without a $25 late fee. Any late payments will receive the late fee and it will be charged automatically on your next months invoice. I try to send several reminders to help you avoid these fees.
Families were sent an invoice on 1/15 via email from Eleyo.
February tuition is due no later than 1/28.
Families will be invoiced on 2/14 for March tuition and it will be due by 2/28.
Our pink February calendar went home this month. Please make sure you are making note of important dates and activities each month. We don't want any of our families missing out on all the stuff going on at Learn 'N Playday!!! If you ever lose yours, I post our monthly newsletter and calendar on our LNPD website. I will send a Newsletter/Calendar home at the beginning of each new month and they will vary in copy paper color.

Registration for the 2025-2026 school year will occur in February for existing LNPD families. More information to come soon.
If you know of any Allen friends looking for a preschool for the 2025-2026 school year, please direct them to our website: www.allenisd.org/learnnplayday , and direct them to our Eleyo page to enter their information too. https://allenisd.ce.eleyo.com/child-care/2/learn-n-playday
My email is : lnp@allenisd.org
They must be either 3 or 4 by 9/1 and be fully potty trained.
We would love to have them in our program for next school year!
**If you are a returning LNPD student or a sibling of a current LNPD student, you will get to register before anyone from our waiting list, so no need to get on the waiting list for yourselves.
(The Learn & Play image is linkable to Eleyo too.)
If sick, your child must be:
1. fever free 24 hours
2. vomit free 24 hours
3. diarrhea free for 24 hours, all before sending them back to school
They also need to be medicine free at school. Giving Tylenol or other fever reducing medicines in the morning can upset their stomachs and also lead to fevers and vomiting later in the day or children falling asleep.
We have had a lot of runny noses and coughing at LNPD and a few kids have had strep and flu. The tummy bug has hit LNPD. If your child is experiencing loose bowels or complaining that their tummy hurts, it is the first signs of this illness. Please be on the lookout for any of these things and keep your children home if they are within that 24 hours of being contagious.
If it is 90-99 actual temperature or heat index, we have a shortened recess time of 10 minutes
It is 100 or above actual temperature or heat index it is INDOOR recess only
35 or below actual or wind child, INDOOR recess only
36-40 degrees its shortened recess and all students must have appropriate jacket and clothing
Air Quality alerts are also shortened recess 10-15 minutes
Please make sure you have your child use the restroom before leaving your houses in the mornings. Also, please remind your children to tell the teachers when they need to go potty. Some of the accidents we are experiencing is because our students either wait too long to tell someone or they do not inform the teachers that they need to go. (Every LNPD class goes as a class at least 3-4 times per day)
Please have a full change of clothes in your child's backpack. Socks and shoes included and more than one pair of underwear and pants or shorts are always helpful too. Please also make sure your children's clothing items are labeled.
- Field trips and LNPD activities have begun. All parents must complete a background check prior to participating in any of these activities. This process may take up to two weeks to complete. I have included the link for easy access if you are interested in volunteering. https://www.allenisd.org/page/register-volunteer
- We are not using water fountains this year, so a water bottle is definitely needed. We have a touch free, filtered water bottle station in the LNPD hallway, so we can refill their bottles too.
Make sure to visit our LNPD website to view our monthly calendar and newsletter, find your weekly classroom news and pictures, music songs, links to Eleyo. www.allenisd.org/learnnplayday (4 year old's need to turn in their hearing and vision forms by Dec. 22nd)
- Visit our Allen ISD home page to find the latest information on the district. https://www.allenisd.org
- If you think your child needs to be assessed for any special services, such as speech, autism, hearing or vision impaired, cognitive, social or emotional development, etc..., please reach out to our Allen ISD Special Services department and then go to Child Find. Here is their direct link to get you started: https://www.allenisd.org/o/aisd/page/child-find
I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day and stays warm and cozy in this cold weather!!💘💌🥶
