We need your feedback! We rely heavily on our annual parent survey to make improvements to our center and praise accomplishments.
We ask that you fill out the surveys below. One link is for the center, and the other link is for your child’s teachers. Please fill out one caregiver survey per teacher that your child has had this year. We would like these to be completed by November 29, 2019.
Thank you so much for your participation!!

We have a couple of exciting things happening next Wednesday October 23rd!
Mobile Petting Zoo We will have a mobile petting zoo here from 8:45am-11:00am. The children will go out with their classes and have a chance to pet or just look at various animals! There is no charge for the petting zoo, but they do ask for donations. There will be a bucket on the front desk. Please contribute if you can!
Lunch and Learn for Parents: Functions of Behavior Ever wonder why your child does this or that? Find out the “why” with behavior specialists from The Next Step Behavior. Join us at 11:15am in the MCDC Library. Please RSVP if you plan on attending. Hope to see you there! Feel free to invite your co-workers that may be interested.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Be on the lookout for an email about our Fall Festival soon! Author: Kelli L Wright |

Monday, September 16, 2019 - 1:00pm Hello Parents of 3 year olds-5 year olds! We are very excited to partner with Amy Holland to offer speech and language screenings to your children. These optional, informal screenings take approximately 15-20 minutes and cost $15. The screenings will take place on September 19, 2019. It will provide you with insight into your child’s speech and language development and a recommendation of whether or not your child needs further evaluation. Should further evaluation be recommended, additional details on cost of services and treatment plans will be discussed with you. If you would like to participate, please fill out the form that was emailed and return to the front office by September 17, 2019. Author: Kelli L Wright |

Feel free to bring wagons, strollers, etc…. and decorate with patriotic bling!
Infant and Creeper parents: please let your child’s teacher know if you will be participating and providing a stroller. That way we will know how many “seats” we need.
Older children are allowed to bring riding toys/bicycles, but only if they have a parent to escort. No motorized vehicles please.
We will line up in the following order: Infants Creepers Preschool A Preschool B Preschool C Explorer A Explorer B Toddler A Toddler B

Friday, April 19, 2019 - 9:45am MCDC Families, In case you missed it in the April Newsletter: This spring is the scheduled time to elect our Vice President, Treasurer, and Members-at-Large. The Vice President and Treasurer are 2-year terms, and the Members-at-Large are 1-year. As a bonus this year, we will have a special election for the President position for the remainder of my term (until next Spring). Since my daughter will start kindergarten in the fall, I would not be able to fulfill the complete term, and it makes sense to go ahead and have the special election in concert with our normal one. If you are interested in running for any of the positions, please send me an e-mail stating which you would like to stand for, along with a short bio to send out to the membership for consideration. I will accept nominations through April, with the election to occur the first part of May and the new board officially being seated in June. Details on the board positions can be found on our website at https://mcdc.msfc.nasa.gov/business/current_board and the qualifications are outlined in our bylaws https://mcdc.msfc.nasa.gov/business/bylaws. I do hope you will all give serious consideration to running for a position. As I often try to remind people, MCDC is a parent-run, non-profit corporation. We are not part of the Exchange or a formal part of the MSFC institution. As such, MCDC is shaped by the families that are members. Regards, Brian Mulac President, MCDC Board of Directors

We will also spend the day on Monday doing lots of creative art!

Bring a lunch, a blanket or chair and relax! If you have more than one child enrolled and take one of the children to another classroom, please be sure to notify your teacher of your whereabouts. Please send in a packed lunch and drink with your child on Wednesday. (this excludes the creepers and infants) Remember NO PEANUT/NUT PRODUCTS!! Thursday: Trike-A-Thon and Music Day Our annual Trike-A-Thon is to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our goal this year is to raise $5000!! You will find a pledge sheet in your child’s folder or cubby. The pledge sheets need to be turned in by Friday March 29th. The classroom to raise the most money will get a Pizza Party!! You can also sign up online at https://stjude.org/trike. Find our event and register! The preschool children will bring in a riding toy (tricycle, bike, but nothing electric) and they will ride around the front parking lot. Please make arrangements to have your children dropped off and the parking lot clear by 8:45am that morning. If you join us for the Trike-A-Thon, you will need to park next door at the medical center. Preschool C will ride from 9:00am-9:30am, Preschool B will ride from 9:45am-10:15am and Preschool A will ride from 10:30am-11:00am. The younger children may bring in a riding toy to play with on the playground on Thursday. You can take this riding toy directly to your child’s playground on Thursday when you drop off. The preschoolers will park their tricycles or bikes in the front of the center by their classroom label. Music will be in the air all day on Thursday! If you have different types of music that you could share, we would love to introduce the children to as many different genres of music as possible. We would also love to showcase any of our parent’s talents. If you play a musical instrument or sing, please coordinate a time with your child’s classroom to stop by and share your talent! Friday: Science Day and Ice Cream Social We will end the week with a bang! We would love for you to conduct a science experiment with your child’s class on Friday. We will be conducting science experiments as well. If you have any ideas for us, please let your child’s teacher know! We would like to invite you to an Ice Cream Social at your child’s snack time. MCDC will provide the ice cream and we will have a sign up for toppings. Again, if you have more than one child enrolled and take one of your children to another classroom, please inform your teacher of your whereabouts. We appreciate all of the support and participation this week of celebrating our most precious ones!!
