First Year’s makes a continuing effort to inform parents of the happenings at the Center. Each month we publish the news for the month. 
A bulletin board is situated right above the sign-in sheets in the main lobby. It contains announcements for you to view and read. Please take the time to scan the “Parent Bulletin Board” regularly; this way you will be informed of the Center’s and community’s happenings.
Copies of the menu are under the bulletin board, please take one with you or, simply download the menu from this site.
