Happy March everyone!

> It has been a long cold winter, but hopefully we are on the tail end of it. The kids have spent several days inside this year due to cold, but have finally been able to enjoy some fresh air outside these past few days. Hallelujah!
>
> A reminder to school age and kindergarten parents that next Wednesday, March. 13th there is an early dismissal. Then on Friday, March 15th there is a school in-service day. If your child is scheduled for either of these days, and will not be attending please let us know.
> Spring break is quickly approaching! (March 25th – March 29th) If you child will not be attending over the spring break, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance so we are able to staff accordingly.
>
> You may have noticed a petition created by MCCA (Manitoba Child Care Association) posted on the doors of our center.
> Early Learning and Child Care programs in Manitoba require increased funding to stabilize and support a system that is in jeopardy. Licensed not for profit Early Learning and Child Care Programs have received no new operating funding for over three years, while the cost of living continues to increase annually. The financial viability of childcare programs are in jeopardy if they cannot meet the fiscal responsibility of achieving a balanced budget as all operating expenses continue to increase.
> This petition has been created to urge the Provincial Government to increase funding for licensed not for profit child care programs in recognition of the importance of early learning and child care in Manitoba, which will also improve quality and stability in the workforce.
> We are asking parents if they could take a moment to sign, as this is an issue that is very important for our center.
> Thank you for your support.
