Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a very common respiratory illness in young children—especially during the fall and winter months. Most cases are mild, but RSV can cause more serious symptoms in infants and young children, so early awareness matters.

Common Symptoms of RSV

RSV can look very similar to a cold at first. Symptoms may include:
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Coughing (may become persistent)
• Sneezing
• Fever
• Decreased appetite
• Wheezing or trouble breathing
• Fatigue or unusual fussiness

When a Child Should NOT Be at Child Care

To keep all children healthy and to prevent the spread of illness, please keep your child home if they have ANY of the following:

🚫 Fever of 100.4° or higher
🚫 Constant or worsening cough
🚫 Wheezing, rapid breathing, or working hard to breathe
🚫 Green or thick nasal discharge that is constant
🚫 Poor appetite, vomiting, or signs of dehydration
🚫 Complaints of not feeling well or extreme fatigue
🚫 A doctor advises they stay home

Children may return when:
✔ Symptoms are improving
✔ They are fever-free for 24 hours without medication
✔ They can comfortably participate in normal activities
✔ They are not having breathing difficulties

⸻

At EEPS, keeping our classrooms healthy is a team effort. Thank you for helping us reduce the spread of RSV and keeping our little learners safe!

At EEPS, we know that every child comes with their own story, strengths, quirks, abilities, and ways of learning — and that’s exactly what makes them special.

While many child cares and preschools focus only on basic skills, we focus on the whole child. That means nurturing social-emotional growth, communication, independence, creativity, confidence, and a genuine love for learning.

We proudly welcome children with differing abilities, diverse learning needs, and unique personalities. Every child deserves a place where they feel seen, included, and supported — and that’s the heart of who we are.

At EEPS, differences aren’t just accepted… they’re celebrated.
Because children thrive when they feel safe to be themselves — just as they are.

Every child belongs here.
Every child is valued.
And every child is capable of amazing things.

If you want a place where your child’s individuality is embraced, you’ll find it at EEPS.

The Learning Power of Fall Leaves

There’s something magical about this time of year—when the ground becomes a colorful blanket of reds, yellows, and oranges. But playing in fall leaves isn’t just fun…it’s truly healthy and educational for children.

When kids jump, rake, toss, and crunch through leaves, they’re building gross motor skills, strengthening muscles, and supporting overall physical health. The resistance of the leaves creates natural movement challenges that help with balance and coordination.

Fall leaf play also opens the door for rich learning experiences. Children explore colors, patterns, textures, and sounds. They compare big leaves to small ones, notice the shapes of different trees, sort by type or color, and ask curious questions about nature and seasonal change. These simple moments build early math, science, and language skills without them even realizing it.

Most of all, leaf play encourages imagination—turning a pile of leaves into a cozy nest, a mountain to climb, or a place to pretend and create.

As the seasons change, these outdoor experiences help children connect with the world around them while staying active, curious, and joyful.

At EEPS, we believe that learning happens through the whole body. Sensory play isn’t just about making a mess (though that’s part of the fun) — it’s how children explore, make connections, and understand the world around them.

From squishing playdough and scooping rice to feeling cool water or sticky paint, every sensory experience builds brain pathways that support language, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.

We include a variety of sensory opportunities each week so children can:
• Strengthen fine motor skills
• Explore cause and effect
• Practice self-regulation
• Build creativity and curiosity

When children touch, smell, listen, see, and move, they’re learning far more than meets the eye.

What’s your child’s favorite sensory play activity at home? Share it below — we’d love to try it at EEPS.

Mixed-age groups in early childhood classrooms create something truly special. When younger and older children learn and play together, both benefit in unique and powerful ways.

Older children naturally take on the role of helpers and teachers. They model language, problem-solving, and social skills — and in doing so, they strengthen their own confidence and empathy. Guiding a younger child through a task or comforting them when they’re upset builds compassion and patience that can’t be taught through a lesson plan.

Younger children, on the other hand, bring a spark of curiosity and wonder that reignites the excitement of learning for older kids. Their questions, discoveries, and enthusiasm encourage older children to think creatively and explore new perspectives.

Together, they form a balanced, nurturing community where everyone learns — not just from teachers, but from one another.

Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Vouchers are a lifeline for families and child care providers alike. They ensure that children can access quality early education while parents work or attend school.

Right now, continued funding for CCDF is on the line—and that means we need your voice. Without it, countless families could lose the support they depend on, and programs like ours could face serious challenges.

Take a minute to speak up and make a difference for children, families, and educators in our community.
Use the QR code below to quickly share your thoughts and help re-fund CCDF Vouchers today.

Together, we can make sure every child has access to the care and learning they deserve.

Play is the true work of a child. Through play, children explore, imagine, problem-solve, and make sense of the world around them. Every block they stack, every story they act out, and every mess they make is part of deep, meaningful learning. Play isn’t a break from learning—it is learning. When we value play, we value the way children grow naturally in curiosity, confidence, and creativity.

At EEPS, you’ll often see children pushing, pulling, carrying, climbing, or lifting — and that’s not just play… it’s heavy work!

Heavy work activities (like carrying a basket of blocks, pushing a wagon, or helping move chairs) give kids the deep pressure input their bodies crave. This kind of sensory input helps:
*Calm and organize the nervous system
*Improve focus and attention
*Build body awareness and coordination
*Support emotional regulation

When children engage in heavy work throughout the day, they’re better able to manage big feelings, transition between activities, and stay engaged in learning.

So next time you see your child “working hard” at play, know that they’re actually building a stronger body and a more regulated mind.

Let’s Be Silly!

At EEPS, we believe that silliness isn’t just allowed — it’s encouraged!

When teachers and children laugh, make funny faces, dance to silly songs, and tell goofy stories together, something magical happens — connection. These joyful moments build relationships, reduce stress, and create a safe space where children feel confident to express themselves.

Silliness helps kids:
*Develop social and emotional skills
*Strengthen imagination and creativity
*Boost cognitive flexibility (learning to think in new ways!)
*Build communication and language through play

And when teachers join in the fun? Children see that learning doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful — it can be joyful!

So go ahead — make that funny face, wear that silly hat, and laugh until your cheeks hurt. Because in early childhood, being silly is serious business!

Take a look at this wonderful drawing! At first glance, it might look simple — a few lines and shapes — but to an early childhood educator, this is big growth!

Drawings like this represent what’s called the “tadpole person” stage — one of the first ways preschoolers begin to represent people on paper. You can see how the child is beginning to connect shapes and lines to form a body, arms, and legs. This stage shows:
*Body awareness – children are learning that they have parts and how they connect.
*Symbolic thinking – they’re realizing that marks on a page can stand for something real.
*Fine motor development – controlling the marker to make circles and lines is a big skill!
*Language and storytelling – children can now tell us who they drew and what is happening in their picture.

At EEPS, we celebrate these drawings as powerful learning moments. Every line and circle is a step toward writing, reading, and communicating!
