The sun is out, Lady Spring came early, and we are soon to start our seed and bulb fundraiser! As you’ve already heard, this Thursday, March 9th, is the kick-off to our spring seed and bulb fundraiser! Again this year, we have partnered with Flower Power Fundraising for our spring bulbs and strawberry plants; High Mowing Organic Seeds is our new partner for non-GMO and organic seeds! The school receives 50% of all sales!

Here are the details:

Order forms for both seeds and bulbs can be picked up at our *SPRING PARENT COFFEE* on Thursday morning (3/9/23), or at pick-up time later that day, if you aren’t able to attend the coffee.

Order Forms deadline: Please return all order forms to the school by our group order deadline – Friday, March 24th – so that you can have your seeds and bulbs around mid-April.

Payment: Turn in your completed order forms with a check made payable to The Children’s Garden Preschool.

There’s an online option to order spring bulbs & strawberries: You can check out the selection of spring bulbs here TCGPFlowerPowerFundraising You can order online from Flower Power, but if you order online you will have to pay a shipping fee. ONLINE ORDER DEADLINE IS APRIL 1st. This is a good option if you have out-of-town family or friends who want to support the school, and you can share the link with them. High Mowing Organic Seeds Fundraising does NOT provide an online ordering option for fundraisers.

Community support: Please share with neighbors, friends, relatives, and coworkers. Your participation really makes a difference! Thanks!

2023 Summer Camp Registration begins
2023-03-09 | The Children’s Garden Preschool, 486 Park Ave SE, Atlanta, GA, 30312, United States
Summer registration begins Thursday, March 9th, for our currently enrolled families (children attending now who are at least 3 years old as of this summer and/or recent graduates from TCG, who are up to 7 years old of age). We start accepting summer registrations on Thursday morning at the parent coffee (but not before – please see below about how to register).

TO REGISTER: Turn in your child’s completed 3-page registration form via email OR – at drop-off or pick-up – between March 9th and March 24th. You will receive a Quickbooks invoice the same day, with registration fee due within one day (24 hours). Once we have BOTH your camp registration forms and the registration fee, your child’s registration will be complete. If we don’t receive registration fees within one day, your child will not be registered for camp.

WHO CAN ATTEND: We are only able to accept currently enrolled and alumni children, as space is limited. We anticipate another full roster this summer – so please understand that you will need to register quickly to reserve your spot/s. Registration is strictly happening on a first come, first serve basis. Please see packet details about a young three year old being ready to join in summer camp with us.

Summer camp operates for two months, for 3 to 7 year olds, in one mixed-age class. This year, Ms. Sally and our newly hired assistant teacher, Ms Emma (whom you will all meet in mid-March), are the teaching team and admin staff for the summer program. They will be assisted by summer camp interns and other TCG staff, as needed. Same as recent years, there are just two camp sessions – June and July. Children registered may come for a minimum of a one month session or both months (no partial or split sessions). TCG graduates/older siblings are welcome up to age 7.
