Happy New Year! After the hectic holiday
season, it’s wonderful to know that all of us
can settle quietly and peacefully into the
New Year. My wish is that your year will be
filled with all good things: health, prosperity,
laughter and love!

We would like to welcome Mrs. Anna
Florence as our new Assistant Director! As a
long-term manager within our company, I
know she’s someone you’ll trust and respect.
Please join me in making her feel welcome.
Do you need a date night with your spouse?
A little time for a movie or housecleaning
without little ones underfoot? We are
planning our first Parent’s Night Out on
January 29th and would love to care for your
youngster. Watch for more information
coming soon.
If your child’s celebrating a birthday this
month, we hope your plans include scheduling
a Well Child exam with his/her doctor. Child
care licensing regulations require that ALL
children enrolled have proof of a yearly
physical exam on file. Please see Erica or
Anna for the necessary paperwork.
We will resume our Spanish Lessons with
Ms. Rosa on January 5th.
Thank you so much for being a part of the Gateway Family! We look forward to 2016 and the
exciting things to come for our school!

Please make sure your child has a full set of seasonally appropriate clothes in their cubby. These come
in handy with toileting accidents, spills at lunch, being over-zealous with art work...and many other
times. Thanks in advance!
Tax time is just around the corner. If you need a
receipt showing how much tuition you paid to
Gateway Academy in 2015, please let us know. We’ll
have one ready for you!
We are continuing to grow here at Eastfield, so

well and need your help. Please “like” our page and
