Welcome to the Birthday Book Club!

no new members at this time but we hope you are reading to your child every night

We are off to an amazing school year!

MECE uses the Procare app for contactless sign in and out. You should have received an invitation to set up your child's account. For security reasons, each pick up person must have a unique email address. Returning families may find they need to log out and log back in. Please contact us with any questions. Please email us any people that need to be added as authorized to pick up.

Carline: Please refer to the carline procedure for your drop off and pick up location. You will find that our line moves quickly and children get out of cars happily (usually) when the carline greeter opens the door and helps the child out. Please remain in your car and wish your child a great day, do not get out of your car. The greeter will be happy to help the child, and carry any large items you might be dropping off. Be sure to have the color-coded carline sign in your dashboard. This helps the greeter greet your child by name and make sure they arrive at the right classroom. Please refrain from talking on your cell phone during carline. The Twos class is the only class that parents walk their children to the Two's door.

If you need to pick up your child early, please do so before 11:50 to avoid the carline traffic.

We are still in need of carline greeters. This is a fun way to get to know the staff and other families. Please email me if you are interested.

Snack: Be sure to send in a healthy snack for your child daily in a gallon sized Ziploc bag labeled with their first and last name (or returning families may already have the MECE snack bag). You will get the bag back everyday so you can provide snack in it again and again. Please be sure to check the calendar provided by your teacher to be aware of any allergies in your class. In the case of a severe allergy in the class, you will not be allowed to send in products containing the allergen. Also, please avoid sending in choking hazard foods (such as popcorn) or be sure to cut them up. For example grapes are cut longways so they no longer are a choking hazard.

Enrichment Programs: We have openings in all Enrichment programs except Art. Please let us know if you would like to sign your child up for one of these programs. See the list of programs listed below.

The Palm Beach Health Department requires that all water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. be labeled with a child's first and last name. I recommend you order Mabel's Labels for reliable stick on labels. Be sure to indicate MECE as the organization you are supporting.

T-Shirt for sale-Every MECE student received a complimentary T-shirt, if you would like to purchase another one, just let us know. Preschool blue shirts are $10 and are available in size XS (2-4), Small (6-8) or Medium (10-12).

The Boca Raton Police Services Department reminds you to bring belongings WITH you when you pick up your child at your day care facility. Each day parents and caregivers fall victim to auto burglary when belongings such as purses, laptops, and personal electronic devices are left behind during child pickup. It takes 4 seconds or less to smash the car window and escape with your valuables! Report suspicious persons immediately by calling 911 or 561-368-6201 (Non-Emergency). For more information, please contact the Crime Prevention Unit at 561-347-3938 or visit www.BocaPolice.com

Parents Morning Out (PMO) is open 5 days per week from 9-noon! Get more information and sign up on the church's website. You can sign up directly here. The fee is just $30/day.
