Introductory letter to new families

Dear Families:

Let me take this opportunity to welcome all the new families in and around the community and

its environs. I would like to introduce myself to you and what Tiny Tots Childcare Facility offers.

My name is Rhona Henry Tappin and I am a graduate from the Medicine Hat College. I

completed my level three (3) diploma course in Early Learning and Childcare and I graduated

with first-class honors. I have ten (10) years of active service and experience in this career. At the

Tiny Tots Childcare Facility, I have eight (8) eight trained certified, and competent educators on

staff. The facility also has a full-time nurse to assist with injuries incidents among other things

within her line of profession. The facility is open seven (7) days per week and on holidays if

necessary. As customary, we will inform all the families two weeks prior the week of the holiday.

At Tiny Tots, we know the importance of your job as well as getting to your job on time. We also

know some of the challenges you may face in getting your little one’s ready for drop off.

Therefore, with those considerations among other things we have changed our operating hours

from 7 am in the mornings to 6 am and we close off at 7 pm.

At the Tiny Tots Childcare Facility, we provide a breakfast feeding program for all our early

risers. We implemented this program to ease the early morning rush for our families. With this

program, we ask each family to provide us with a list of their child’s likes and dislikes. Our
facility is a multicultural establishment and our standards are high on inclusiveness. A section of

our mission statement dictates that, “Every child must see themselves within our facility” and we

live by this standard. Thus, we were intentional in creating a facility that would make every child

feel at home away from home. The facility was designed for children to create and advertise their

own traditional and cultural art pieces and be placed on display. Our reading corner is also

stocked with a plethora of multicultural books, flags, posters, photographs, and a world map.

This will allow each child to see an image of themselves within the establishment as well as

them feeling welcome. In addition, we are committed to continuing to prepare traditional meals
for our children once per week. At Tiny Tots, we cater to the whole child and pay keen attention

to their interests and needs. Our curriculum blends well for special needs children and so no one

is being left out. We allow our children to discover on their own as well as to experience,

explore, and draw their own conclusion. We encourage collaborative play, as our children learn

about other cultures and traditions.

I am also pleased to advise you that our families have several modes of direct and real-time

communication to their disposal. These technologies can be used to communicate with me and

the other educators to create partnerships. We know you want to see your little ones in action

while being at your jobs. Therefore, our newest form of technology on the list would be our

website. This is where the uploading of pictures of our child and activities in progress can be

observed. This allows for parents’ feedback and interaction with their child instantaneously. We

want to harness your participation, your opinion, and your involvement with your child while

they are in our care because we count them valuable. I would also like to inform you that we do

have a suggestion box at the entrance of the facility that our families can utilize for those who

choose to communicate that way. Should you need any clarification on any other matter about

Tiny Tots Childcare Facility I can be contacted at (403) 9999-000. Also, my personal email

address is rhona.tapp@yahoo.com. I can also be reached at the facility’s email address at

ttcf@gmail.net. Looking forward to meeting you all personally.

Yours Truly,

Rhona Henry Tappin (Mrs.)

Chairman
