Clyde’s Corner | June 2026

Welcome to Clyde's Corner

June is the month of Potential, half of the year is behind us and the other half is waiting to be written.

 

Needing some prayers? We got you! If you would like our Big Red Barn Prayer Team to pray for something specific, you can submit prayer requests here! Remember no prayer is too big for our God and with community in prayer, anything is possible

Monthly Updates:

 

• Our Annual Licensing Visit is scheduled to be sometime THIS MONTH! Please be prepared and always know your numbers! Please ask admin if you have any questions about this process.
• Music
  • We have noticed an increase in inappropriate music being played in the classroom. Please ensure that all music played during the day is age-appropriate and suitable for young children.
  • If you would like to play pop, R&B, or other popular genres, please use the Kidz Bop versions. Disney music, children's music, and instrumental versions of songs are also great options.
  • Please refrain from playing K-Pop Demon Hunters as some families have expressed concern that the movie is not age appropriate and some families do not want their kiddos watching it.
• Splash Days will begin this month! The 1st one is this Thursday the 11th! Below is the schedule and what we are asking parent's to prepare their children in prior to drop off. All sunscreen must be applied no later than 15 min before heading outside to allow it time to soak in!
  • Parent's please send:
    • A bag for wet clothes and towels
    • Water shoes
    • An extra change of clothes for after splash day
    • Swim diaper for children still in diapers

• What does outside active supervision mean? 
  • Stay actively engaged and aware of children at all times while outdoors.
  • Position yourself where you can easily view all areas of the playground and grass area. (this is not social hour)
  • Continuously scan the environment to ensure children are safe and supported.
  • Move throughout the playground to maintain visibility and connect with children in different areas.
  • Engage with children through play, conversation, and encouragement while maintaining awareness of the entire group.
  • When two teachers are outside:
    • Communicate and work together to ensure all areas of the playground are supervised.
    • One teacher may choose to engage more directly in play while the other circulates throughout the playground.
    • Both teachers should remain attentive to the children and their surroundings
  • When supervising independently:
    • Continue moving throughout the playground to maintain visibility of all children.
    • Check in regularly with children across different play areas.
• Know your count
  • At any point during the day, you should be able to immediately provide the number of children in your classroom or group. Frequent name to face should be conducted throughout the day, especially during transitions, when moving between locations, and before and after outdoor play.
  • In addition to knowing your count, it is equally important to know the whereabouts of every child in your care. There should never be a time when a child’s location is unknown. Consistently scanning the environment, maintaining active supervision, and communicating with your co-teacher helps ensure that all children are accounted for and safe.
• Hiring 
  • We are actively hiring at all three locations and have a referral incentive to hopefully encourage you all to bring some amazing people on board! If you refer a friend that we hire, and if they hit their 90 day mark, you will receive a $100 bonus! If your friend is lead qualified, you will receive a $200 bonus and your friend will receive $100 upon their 90 day. This referral program begins today, so please let us know if you have anyone in mind!
• Hair 
  • When helping children with their hair, please ensure that combs, brushes, and other hair tools are not shared between children. Using the same comb or brush on multiple children can contribute to the spread of lice and other hygiene concerns.
• BONUS POINTS 
  • First one to tell me what rule 2.223 A.1 is in Colorado Childcare Licensing Rules and Regulations.
