August 2022
Love is showing others how
much they matter to you.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are planning to add a 4th classroom by August 21st!
Our 3-5 year old room is quickly growing and we want to be able to accommodate a larger space for them and also create space for our 3rd-5th graders to have their own room. Please be mindful as we make the transition to new rooms. Our volunteers are happy to assist you to make sure everyone is in the right space! We are so excited for what we have to show you!

PARENT RESOURCES
Free summer lunch and activities at the Civic Center Oceanside Library. Mon-Friday from 11am-11:45am ages 0-18. View Oceanside Library webpage for more details and other events.
Looking for new ways to engage your kiddos while they eat or play? You can search for podcasts that teach children positive character traits and Biblical truth. Two examples are "God's Big Story" and "Paws and Tales." (**I have not vetted these podcasts but they came recommended to me)
Got any other resources we should share? Let me know!
ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER
Morning Time
As your kid starts their day, share your favorite memory from the past few months.
Bed Time
Pray for each other: "God, help us to love the people we encounter each day, and to show them how good and kind you are by the way we treat them."
Meal Time
At a meal, ask everyone at the table: "What are some ways you’ve seen how much God loves you by how others have treated or cared for you?"
Drive Time
While on the go, ask your kid: "What was your favorite thing the past few months?"
