Just a quick note...

A must see for all parents...

Tuesday nights at 8pm on ABC...Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution...wow...
http://www.jamieoliver.com/foundation/jamies-food-revolution/

If you haven't watched it yet, get on board. You will be on a wild ride. Totally blew my mind tonight. This is the start of the second season, I can't believe I missed out on the first! I'm a huge Jamie fan anyway, from watching his cooking and traveling shows; but I have a whole other appreciation, respect and love for what he is trying to accomplish in L.A...

Just speechless....watch for it next week and you'll know why!

No foolin'!

Mother Nature sure has an interesting sense of humor! This picture was taken on April Fool's Day morning, when we had a surprise coating of snow during the rush hour commute! With spring officially under way, there are a lot of other new beginnings here at Sheltering Arms!
Starting with the new Sheltering Arms blog, we hope to share regular updates with all that is happening at our center. They will include photos and entries from teachers; anything from recipes to morning circles and daily activities. You never know what may be posted, so keep checking in!
We are also diligently working on finishing the Sheltering Arms website. We will let you know more when it is officially up and running.
Along with the website and blog, we will be setting up a Facebook page. This will also let "fans" know of any community and/or home based events that are going on, as well as any other news we have to share!
Finally, as a teacher here for nearly 9 years and a lover of photography, I have collected quite a few photo albums of seasonal activities the children have been a part of. So now, it has come to my attention that I can share those photos with you via the web! I am going to be setting up a photo sharing site so that parents can see, print and have these pictures of your children to enjoy for years to come. Raphie, another wonderful teacher and artist will also be sharing her candid shots as well!
We hope these tools will give you the opportunity to be more interactive with us. It is exciting to all of us to share these things with you, and we are looking forward to hearing feedback! Don't forget to check in to see what is happening at Sheltering Arms! :)
