Dear ACCC Parents and Staff,
First of all, we would like to give a special thank you to all of the parents who participated and contributed to the ACCC Halloween Party and trick-or-treat parade to Building N200. We appreciate your participation and putting time aside to help.
October went fast but smooth. Most children have adjusted well in their new classrooms with new friends and teachers. The parent meetings also went well. We appreciate your willingness to spend time with your classroom teachers, discuss the classroom expectations, and share your concerns. For parents who were not able to attend our parent meetings, please feel free to let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
Also, please remember to record your parent participation hours.
Sincerely,
Ida Stevens, ACCC Director

Fundraising Events
Amazon Smile
The holiday shopping season has arrived and if you would like to shop at Amazon, please remember to go to “amazon smile” where it donates a portion of the purchase price to a charity of your choice. This is a great way to automatically support the Ames Child Care Center (ACCC) – at no additional cost to you! 🙂
To get started:
- Go to http://smile.amazon.com
- Select Ames Child Care Center as your supporting organization
- Start shopping as usual – same prices and selection
With all your support, we will be able to provide better facilities, tuition assistance, and a safer environment for our children.
Great Lakes Scrip Center (GLSC)
Scrip programs provide discounted products and services to nonprofit organizations, such as the ACCC. Those savings are passed onto us, which help in funding new facilities and making our children’s daycare experience even better!
You can purchase gift cards via the Scrip Program. GLSC offers a huge variety of gift cards, ranging from department stores (Walmart, T.J. Max, Marshalls, J.C Penny, Kohl’s, Nordstrom & Macy’s etc.) to dining (Outback Steakhouse, Maggiano’s) to entertainment (Dave & Busters, AMC) to universal prepaid gift cards! Please see the order form for a selection of retailers.
If you would like to order gift cards as Holiday presents and also help out ACCC, please order your gift cards via the Scrip Program.
To order, just fill in the order form, and place payment (cash or check) with the form into the box at the office. All orders will be processed on Nov. 14 and will be delivered to the office by Nov. 22. Please contact the office with questions regarding GLSC.
