September Newsletter 2025
Dear 4CCN Families,
We are so excited to kick off this school year. The teachers have so many exciting things
planned. I am thrilled to begin my second year as director of 4CCN. I am enjoying greeting
everyone at the door each morning. Please introduce yourself. I am still learning everyone’s
names. The hallways have been filled with sounds of joys and tears. We are doing everything we can to
make this transition for the children as smooth as possible. In just a few short weeks the
children will be settled into their new routines. I would like to wish all of our families and staff a terrific 2025 – 2026 school year!
Jodi Siff
Director
Staff
4CCN has been fortunate to consistently retain staff from year to year. Here is a list of who is where this school year:
TWR 2’s: Ashley Campbell and Buffy Stutz
M-F 2’s: Pia Chirinos and Bianca Chapman
3’s: Chela Bodden and Sara Robb
3’s: Sarah Jacobs, Katie Keach, and Buffy Stutz
4’s: Allison Nadelhaft and Kate Spigler
4’s: Alana Kravitz and Kathleen Ficco
For the month of September, we will have 3 teachers in our 2’s classes to help the children
transition into preschool.
Parking
We are fortunate to have a very large parking lot. You can enter the lot from two locations, one
from University Blvd and a rear entrance from Eastwood Avenue. There are other tenants who
use the building and parking lot. Hold your children’s hands when walking through the parking
lot. Never leave children unattended in your car while you drop off siblings. For the safety of
all families and children, the first 4 parking spaces by the front door will be blocked. This
includes parking in front of the playground. Cars backing up while families are entering and
exiting the school is too dangerous. Please do not park on the outside of the yellow lines. We
have many families entering and exiting, and blocking the traffic flow makes for a very
dangerous parking lot.
September Snack
In the month of September, we will serve graham crackers and apple juice for the entire month.
In October, we will rotate snacks each week. Snack menus will be posted in the newsletter and
on the bulletin board outside the office. If your son/daughter has an allergy, please make sure
it is noted in their health inventory and on their emergency form. You should also send Jodi
and your child’s teacher an email.
Stay and Play
We are so excited for our Stay and Play program. The children enrolled are having a wonderful
time playing with friends after school. Please remember that the playground must be cleared
by 2 PM for our Stay and Play children. If you are interested in learning more about Stay and
Play please drop into the office or email Jodi.
4CCN Consignment Sale
The Fall Consignment Sale is quickly approaching! This year’s fall sale will be
held the week of October 6th, 2025. We will have a huge selection of fall/winter
children's clothing (NB-12), plus toys, books, games, baby gear, costumes, and
maternity clothes for sale.
In addition to shopping the sale, you are also welcome 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
$6 for PayPal and $5 Cash each. Please come to the office to pay for your code and pick up
tags, information packet, and pricing guide.
If you have any items you would like to donate to the sale and give the school 100%
of the proceeds (instead of the 50/50 split for the consignor and the school), you
can pick up some green tags in the office and label them with code A1. Only donate
items that you do not want returned to you.
