The ministry operates under the name of “Our Little Angels”. To celebrate the day care’s 3rd birthday, they will host an open house on Monday, January 30th, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This year we will be doing something different, we will have a special program beginning at 7:00 p.m. with all of the day care children participating. This will give everyone an opportunity to see what the children learn during the day. It will also give parents and visitors a chance to visit with the staff members without the normal hustle, bustle of their work day. Please mark your calendar, so you won’t miss this evening of celebration! “Our Little Angels” has grown in average daily attendance from 42 children in 1992, to 55 children in 1993, to 64 children in 1994 with over 120 children enrolled. The day care is divided into 5 different classrooms according to age. The five rooms are Infant/Toddler, 1 & 2 Year Olds, 3 & 4 Year Olds, Preschool/Kindergarten, and School Age Room. The John Glenn School Corporation provides transportation from the day care to the various schools both before and after school. Kindergarten transportration has been provided by parents and staff members. “Our Little Angels” staff members have been trained in C.P.R.,

universal precautions, and a developmentally age appropriate program. The day care employs 18 people, 10 which are full-time employees and 8 that are part-time. Os the 18 employed, 12 of them have worked for the day care for over one year. There was a Seniority dinner held at the Dockside Inn this past Saturday evening honoring those employees who have been with the day care for at least one years time. Employees recently honored were Charlotte Zwierzynski, Marilyn Pugsley, Laura Christner, Pam Landesman, Vicki Morris, Dena Griffin, Nancy Starke, Helen Hamess (a sub), Keri Pugsley, LuAnn Malstaff, Jill Jones, Bonnie Salyer, and Valerie Paschen. The day care is on the USDA Child and Adult Care Food program; the children are offered a properly balanced breakfast, lunch and snack daily with lots of variety. “Our Little Angels” is also listed and monitored by the 4 C’s (Community Coordinated Child Care) of St. Joseph County, which is a resource and referral agency in child care for people living in seven area counties. “Our Little Angels” provides the families it serves with stable and consistent care; hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The day care setting gives children opportunities to develop the socialization skills for service-oriented jobs they may hold in the future. A new service is now being offered thru the day care. Lou Ann Spore from “Futurekids” comes in one day a week to offer computer classes to our preschool children. If you are interested in these classes for your child, you need not be enrolled the day care to attend.
