A Note from Our Principal
Early this month, we are gearing up to celebrate our incredible team during Teacher Appreciation Week! We’re deeply grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance they bring to our school community each and every day. Their hard work is the heart of the nurturing, inspiring environment we’re so proud to provide our students.
As we look ahead, we’re excited for the sunshine and fun that summer brings, the addition of new team members, and the meaningful moments that come with the end of the school year. From exciting on-site visits to engaging seasonal activities, we’re ready to make the most of this special time with our students and families.
Here’s to celebrating all we’ve accomplished—and to the new adventures just around the corner!
Sincerely,
Melinda Carvalho, Principal

Ready for Summer Fun: Essential Sun and Water Safety Tips for Young Children
Summer is upon us—and that means splash pad visits, pool days, picnics, and lots of time outdoors. With little ones in tow, it’s important to remember that they are more sensitive to the heat and sun, as well as need extra precautions around water. To help prepare you for a relaxed and fun summer while keeping your kids safe, we’ve compiled some sun and water safety guidelines for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Infants (0–12 Months)
Sun Safety – Infants have delicate skin and limited ways to cool down or protect themselves. Keeping them shaded, cool, and supervised is the best way to go. Avoid direct sunlight for babies under 6 months, especially from 10 AM – 4 PM. Stroller canopies, sun hats, or umbrellas are perfect for when you have to be in the sun. Dress infants in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing that covers their arms and legs. Sunscreen for babies isn’t necessarily recommended, but if exposure is unavoidable, use a small amount of baby-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+) on exposed areas.
Water Safety – Water safety for infants involves constant, hands-on supervision. Your baby should always be within arm’s reach when near water—even shallow or still water. In pools, avoid inflatable floaties or seats that can tip over. Instead, gently hold your child during water play. Use warm, shallow water for splash time, and check the temperature before placing your baby in.
Toddlers (1–2 Years)
Sun Safety – Sun safety for toddlers begins with applying a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen (SPF 30+) 15–30 minutes before outdoor play. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming. Choose wide-brimmed hats and UV-prot
