OCTOBER 2024
Happy October! I am happy to say that all of our children have settled beautifully into school. Sounds of joyful learning fill our hallways daily. We are so grateful to be a part of your childrens’ lives. Thank you for trusting us during these formative years.
Our Open House/BBQ will be October 4th. The weather forecast looks perfect, so we anticipate the event will happen. The sign up Genius remains the same. If you are unable to commit to what you originally signed up for, please make a change so that someone else can fill your slot.
Thank you!

The fall consignment sale is right around the corner. We will have a huge selection of season specific children’s clothing (NB - 14), plus toys, books, games, baby gear, costumes, maternity clothes, and more!
In addition to shopping the sale, you are also encouraged to consign at the sale. This is a great opportunity to clean out your closets and support the school at the same time! If you are interested in consigning, you will need a consignor code. Codes are $5 each. Please come to the office to pay for your code and pick up tags, an information packet, and a pricing guide. If you have any items you’d like to donate to the sale and give the school 100% of the proceeds (instead of a 50/50 split for the consignor and the school), you can pick up tags in the office and label them with code A1.
As you know, an event of this size can only be successful with the help of many hands. Please help us make the most of this sale, our only fundraising event at 4CCN, by signing up for and completing your required volunteer shifts. If you have not received an email with a link to the sign-up, please contact our chairwoman, Brittany Hammond via email at consign4ccn@gmail.com
The sale is located on the lower level of Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church in the Social Hall. Both consigning and purchasing are open to the community, so please share this information with your friends and family!
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
PLANS FOR 4CCN
4 Corners Community Nursery’s philosophy is to always keep your child{ren} safe when he/she is in our care.
We have developed an emergency plan that will be put into place if special circumstances require a different type of care. Plans for these special types of care are reviewed annually. The 4CCN staff is trained in the appropriate response and local emergency management is aware of these plans. The specific type of emergency will guide where and what special care will be provided.
SHELTER AT THE SITE: This plan would be put into place in the event of weather emergency or unsafe outside conditions or threats. In this plan, children will be cared for indoors with secured and locked doors. Parents will be notified if they need to pick up their child before regular time.
EVACUATION TO ANOTHER SITE: This plan would be put into place in the event that is not safe for the children to remain at 4CCN. In this situation, staff has predetermined alternate sites for care. The choice of the site is determined by the specific emergency and what would be an appropriate site.
METHOD TO CONTACT PARENTS: In the event of an emergency, parent will be called, a note will be placed on the door, and radio/TV stations will be alerted to provide more specific information. You can also check for information on our website www.4ccn.org. Depending on the distance from the center, the children will walk if feasible or be transported to the alternate site.
EMERGENCY ENDS/REUNITING WITH CHILDREN: When the emergency ends, parents will be informed and reunited with their children as soon as possible. The contact methods listed above will be used to inform parents.
The purpose for sharing this information with you is not to cause worry, but to reassure you that we are prepared to handle all types of emergencies in a way that will ensure the safety of your child(ren). In the event of an actual emergency, please do not call 4CCN - it will be important to keep the lines open. If you have questions regarding this information, talk with the director or your child’s teacher
