 ORDERS DUE November 22
It is time for our annual Holiday Wreath Sale! This event is a great way to support KCP through the purchase of some holiday decor. This year KCP is offering wreaths and garlands. Orders will be ready for pick-up at KCP on December 3. Contact Desiree at kcpfundraiser01@gmail.com for shipping options. WHY
Many of you can remember the time you spent at KCP with preschoolers outside. As you know, we have a wonderfully large area offering many learning opportunities. 2020 brought us unexpected challenges that forced us to adapt to a temporary hybrid of virtual and outdoor learning. A permanent outdoor covered learning space will allow us to bring more learning outside rain or shine. WHAT Similar to the photo above, the plan is to build a solid, permanent structure on site. This structure will be built to withstand year-round weather and provide year-round use. HOW Currently, several professionals have volunteered to donate time and services. Architectural drawings have been prepared and KCP will apply for permits. Corti Construction has volunteered to provide building consultation and guidance. Parent volunteers will help us build. NEEDS
BONUS!! Donors giving 250+ will have their names permanently placed on the structure. Top fundraising prizes awarded to current KCP families are: 1st Place: A Weekend in Lake ChelanRead more about this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 10 guest home in The Lookout in Lake Chelan. Owned by Teacher Doreen.  2nd Place: Private PlaydateHosted by a KCP Teacher, this is almost like a bonus day of preschool and is the BEST PLAYDATE EVER! 3rd Place: Favorite BooksNeed a story time book refresh? Third place prize is a KCP book bag filled with the teachers' favorite books. This will keep your little one busy for hours and hopefully become some of your family reading favorites too! NEED MORE INFO? Bonus!!Donors giving 250+ will have their names permanently placed on the structure.

What will KCP classes look like in the Fall of 2021? We don’t know. We do not have all the answers, but we do know one thing for sure. We will be operating in a capacity somewhere between two ends of a spectrum. Let’s call it Where We Are Now and Where We Were Pre-COVID.
WHERE WE ARE NOW This is how we currently operate. It is a virtual program, with supplementary in-person outdoor learning times and art supply pick-up/drop-offs. No student drop-offs during in-person outdoor time. GROUP I: Teacher Kym Mondays: 10:00-10:45am virtual learning Wednesdays: 10:00-10:45am virtual learning every 2nd and 4th Wednesday Wednesdays: 1hr and 15 min in-person outdoor learning every 1st and 3rd Wednesday
GROUP II: Teacher Doreen Tuesdays: 10:00-10:45am virtual learning Thursdays: 11:00-11:45am virtual learning every other week Thursdays: 9:00-10:30 or 11:00-12:30 in-person outdoor learning every other week
GROUP III: Teacher Amy Mondays: 1:00-1:45pm virtual learning Tuesdays: 1:00-1:45pm virtual learning Thursdays: 1:00-1:45pm virtual learning Fridays: 12:30-2:30pm in-person outdoor learning every other week (alternating location KCP or a local park/trail head.)
WHERE WE WERE PRE-COVID This is our beloved program that we long to get back to and are working towards in hopes that soon we will have more in-person and in-class time together and the year progresses. GROUP I: Teacher Kym Mondays and Wednesdays: 9:20-11:50am
GROUP II: Teacher Doreen Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: 9:20-11:50am
GROUP III: Teacher Amy Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: 12:10-2:40pm
 We would love to hear from you! KCP's registrar, Dawn, is planning to compile your messages into a 2-3 minute video showcasing what is great about our program. We will share this video on kirklandcoop.com and social media.
Here are some ideas on how you can participate:
Drop your videos and photos in our Google folder at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VS9OyPA7mzZrjGgipZ2P5S5t8qOVQMlx?usp=sharing  On January 4, registration opens for currently enrolled and alumni families. On January 27, remaining spaces will be offered to the general public. To register, go to https://www.jovial.org/kcp/family and log in. Look for the link to the registration form on the right side of the front page (starting January 4). Send questions to Dawn at kcpregistrar@gmail.com. It is challenging to predict what September 2021 will look like in regards to COVID safety protocols, meeting at school and/or meeting virtually. We are all hopeful we will be back to "normal" in some way. We CAN tell you about what our program looks like now and all the fun activities kids are engaging in.
Virtual Activities Include:
Safety Protocols: During our outdoor in person meetings, KCP teachers will guide parents and children to follow safety protocols such as wearing masks, using hand sanitizer and practicing social distancing. Snacks will not be served. An outdoor hand washing station is available. Indoor bathrooms are available as needed. Send questions to Dawn at kcpregistrar@gmail.com.
