After your little one’s first birthday, pediatricians recommend daily vitamin supplements. Vitamins are especially important to stave off colds and flus during the winter months, but just as important for behavior and development all year round. Check out this quote from Dr. Alan Greene’s website.

While frank vitamin deficiency syndromes are uncommon among American children (even among picky eaters), many children get suboptimal amounts - low enough to affect their health, their intellect and their behavior. There are at least 13 nutrients where suboptimal levels are common. We live in an age of highly processed foods. Even when we get kids to eat the fruits and vegetabls we want them too, conventional produces is often grown using agricultural tecniques that minimize the vitamin and mineral contents. Thus, I like giving children multivitamins as suppliements to the vitamins they get in their food. - Dr. Alan Greene.

Can’t get your child to take vitamins? Try Gummy vitamins available at most groceries and Whole Foods and Trader Joes. They taste great and the kids love them!

This week we’re taking a trip to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium!

We’ll be learning about all of the animals and their habitats. Depending on the weather forecast send your little one with either a hat for the sun, or a rain coat.

Kinderdance®, the original nationwide dance, motor development, gymnastics and fitness program for kids from age 2 to 12 will soon be giving lessons at Little Dreamers, Big Believers.

Little Dreamers, Big Believers staff will be participating in the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on May 17th in downtown Columbus.

The 2008 Race for the Cure is aiming to surpass 2007’s record breaking year which raised nearly $2 million. The money is used locally for much-needed education, screening and treatment to the organization’s 23-county Central Ohio service area and to fund national breast cancer research.

All nine of us will be walking! If you’d like to make a pledge in support of the Little Dreamers, Big Believers team let us know.  Or maybe we’ll see you there…

Thanks to our parents for supporting our the Little Dreamers bake sale. The kids played shop and were passionate advocates for their cause … raising the funds for this -

The Super Splash Water Park! Or as we like to call it, the smile factory. And that means one smile factory is coming soon to a day care near you!

On April 17th the pre-schoolers will be taking a field trip to the Upper Arlington Public Library to meet Lilly the Mouse from Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes!

Lilly arrives at 4:00 p.m. so we’ll be leaving Little Dreamers, Big Believers at 3:00 p.m. Getting there a little early will give the kids plenty of time to explore the library. Check with Sara for your field trip permission slips and parents are more than welcome to join us at the library.
