Please note that we have a new bank account number.  The new account number can be found on the bottom of your invoice.  To streamline processes in the finance office, all three preschools owed by the Christian Education Trust will now be operating with only one bank account.  Therefore, it is extremely important that when you alter your automatic payments or direct credits to the new account number, that you also include "FC" as a reference to your deposit, followed by your child's name.  E.g. FC John Smith.  This will allow deposits to be directed to First Class and your child's account.

In the month your child turns three, you should receive your Free ECE forms included with your invoice and newsletter.  These need to be completed and returned to the office before your child can access free hours.  If you do not receive your forms, or have questions regarding them, please contact Melanie in the office.

Check it out!!  Over the last few months we have been working on our new look website.  It is still being updated and added to, but go and take a look - and keep checking back for improvements to come.  The monthly newsletter can now be found on the website, plus any other notices that may come out from time to time.

The Kindergarten children are currently taking an interest in mail.  Please take a moment to support your child's learning - and write them a quick letter addressed to them at First Class.  Perhaps you could even ask grandparents to send your child a letter or postcard.  Our postal address is 125 Moffat Road, Bethlehem, Tauranga.

Troublesome 2 year old?  Same old parenting tactics just not working?  Need some fresh ideas and inspiration in your parenting?  Then mark Monday 12 May in your diary, and come along to a Parents Inc Toolbox course for parents of 0-6 year olds.  The course runs for 6 weeks, and will be held at the centre, cost and time to be advised.  Please note you do need to register at the office if you plan to attend.

First Class will be closed for Friday 21 March & Monday 24 March.

We are currently considering the concept of a parent committee for First Class.  We did run one some time ago, and would like to gauge interest and support for starting this up again.  Please complete and return the attached survey by Friday 14 March to help us with the decision.
