Our apologies

Last Friday's art project didn't go as planned,
and we wanted to aopologize to you.

The children have been asking about painting the playhouse,
and it seemed like a good idea.

However, the project was supervised by one adult
(the main staff were in a short meeting in the office),
and the children were over-enthuastic with the paint,
resulting in many children coming home with paint
on their clothing.

Although we have art and ceramics every Friday,
and the children do get messy,
this was messier than usual.

We want to assure you that this was a one-time incident.
We love our child-led projects,
but this was one time it went too far.

The children actually paint quite a bit,
from the murals in the playground
and decorating for school events,
to the weekly art projects in their classrooms.

We have never had quite so much paint in the kids
in proportion to the project.

Sorry!
We'll be more careful in the future.
And remember, Fridays are project days,
so it may not be the best day to wear your new clothes.
