Its finally starting to feel like summer!  The kids are jumping out of their seats to get outside to explore. I will be sending home a list of supplies that we will need for Summer fun. Items that we will need are:   1)     Summer change of clothes to leave at RLC.   2)     Hats for the babies.   3)     Bathing Suits: 1 piece only.   4)     Velcro Shoes- easier for them to take on and off.   5)     Water shoes- must have during water play.   6)     Small Water bottle- No straws or pieces. (Dollar store ones are the best!)   7)  Money for Sharing Lotion   Recap on The Easter Hunt: The Easter Egg Hunt turned out nice. We had the Easter Bunny hop in to visit all the children. I have pictures available at RLC. Thank you Miss Shantal she was a great Easter Bunny!
