North Wales Academy extends its sincerest wishes to our students, parents and staff for a happy and healthy 2013. Time has a way of marching on in spite of the fact that we may sometimes drag our feet. We hope our newsletter will be a positive means of keeping parents informed about all aspects of their child’s daycare experience here at North Wales Academy. We encourage communication between parents and staff. So please bring to our attention any issues you may have questions or concerns about. North Wales Academy wants to continue to make your child’s wellbeing and education our number one focus.
Please Welcome. North Wales Academy would like to introduce our newest teacher Ms. Ashley D. Samuel to our parents. She holds a B.S. in Early Childhood/Elementary/Special Education with a minor in Psychology. She has 5 years of experience in the childcare industry. She will be our Pre-K teacher. Kid Zone.

Important Announcement North Wales Academy policies will remain the same in 2013 and parents can obtain a copy by asking the director. We appreciate your continued adherence to these polices as they have been established for the safety of your children and to enhance their learning experience.
Do you know your child’s likes and dislikes? Well, North Wales Academy would enjoy letting our students share these ideas with each other. Each month we will focus on positive activities that our students have submitted to us. We want to encourage each of our students to respect each other and to understand their classmates a little better. Parents can provide their child’s teacher with one or two topics to be incorporated in our calendar throughout the year. To get the ball rolling, Page 1 of 2
in January we will be stressing what makes Mom and Dad happy. Our children will have the opportunity to let their classmates know how their behavior can put a smile on the face of Mom or Dad!
Health News Did You Know? Good hand washing is the key to helping reduce the spread of cold and flu viruses. Beginning in January, we will be stressing to our children the importance of washing their hands frequently with soap and water—and always before eating, after using the restroom and after being in a public place. Children can also help stop the spread of viruses by coughing or sneezing into a tissue or into the crook of their elbow instead of into a bare hand. When someone in the family is sick, avoid kisses (hugs are okay) and avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils, washcloths, toys, etc. At North Wales Academy, we emphasize to our children the importance of good hygiene habits so it will become second nature for them to follow. Our goal is to work with all our parents to ensure we keep our children as healthy as possible.
