Cutesy Name For Newsletter Article

[gkids09]

I do a newsletter every month. Required by the state. I used to list kids' accomplishments, but I never had anyone say they liked them or whatever so I got tired of doing them and quit.

Well, now that I've quit, I have had two parents ask me to do them again. I want a cute name for them, but can't think of one. I think Kid Accomplishments is a little too formal...

Any ideas? Writing my newsletter tonight to hand out tomorrow (September is here ALREADY?!) so any ideas in the next couple of hours would be GREAT!!


Thanks

"preschool press"

I have done that before and just titled it "look what we're doing now" or something like that.

I need to get my newsletter going - my Sept. one is always a big one - I don't need it till next Tues. since that is when some of them come back but I better start working on it now!!!

I'm amazed at the amount of time and effort it seems that so many providers on here seem to put into pleasing parents - instead of kids. I do no newsletters, facebook,texts, pictures, etc. etc. My parents say goodbye to kids, I take care of kids, parents say hello to kids while I say goodbye. If anything important/interesting has happened while kid was with either of us we TALK to each other about it. That's it. While the parents are at work they work - they do not check in on kids (except for parents of newborns or newly-into-daycare-kids, who may give me a call at some point during the day.) My focus is on the kids not the parents. I please the parents by taking good care of the kids while they are here - and no parent has ever asked me for any details about their child's moment to moment time here with me. It's a trust thing maybe. I don't feel the need to account for our every moment and they don't expect/want that from me. They know that my time and attention are focused on their child, not on them. And it's all good with all of the families!

I had a really long response to this...but I'm not going to post it because I don't want to argue with an unregistered guest.
I asked for advice for a name of an article, not your criticism on how I treat my parents/kids, but thanks...

As for everyone else, thanks so much for the ideas!! I think I am going to think on it overnight and finish my newsletter tomorrow during naptime!!

If you want to keep the title the same throughout the year, I would call it
