*First Baptist Orlando E2 Roof Repairs: During the month of October, the church will begin work on the roof of our building. This will impact our world so I wanted to be sure to let you know about some temporary changes that will be helpful:

-Parking will be in front of the E1 Building. Our current parking lot will be used for cranes for the roof and for equipment.

-We will be using the side door of our building (doors closest to the toddler playground and by the 2-year old hallway) as our main entry. Miss Jenna will move her check in station over to that door as well to welcome you.

We are thankful to First Baptist for allowing us to serve in such a wonderful facility and are willing to be helpful during this time of transitions. If you have any concerns, please contact the Preschool office (4.07) 206-8704.

*Called to Serve: Are you a mama with a background in education or have a love for children and a passion to serve others? We are always looking for substitute teachers and would love to chat with you if you might be interested in helping at the preschool.

*Preschool Donations:

We are in need of a couple of items so thought we would ask our parents first in case you have “outgrown” or have an “extra” around your house:

-Baby Gates

-Gently Used Baby Blankets

-Bottle Warmer

-Baby Play Mat

-Infant Glider

-Gently Used Crib Sheets (For nap mats & Infant Room)
