The Early Ed. specialists will work one-on-one in a play based manner to prepare your child for kindergarten http://www.academic-achievers.com/kinderprep

Chilly Pad® Super Cooling Towel This is SO cool! It works! I tried it! Whether facing the outdoor heat and/or high levels of physical activity, the Chilly Pad provides an innovative way to cool down. Perfect for anyone engaged in sports or work outdoors, the Chilly Pad is made from a hyper-evaporative material that retains water while remaining dry to the touch. When wet, the towel begins to evaporate and cool, providing cool, soft comfort to the user. When it stops cooling (about 1-4 hours, depending on conditions), you simply re-wet the towel in hot or cold water and wring it out. Within minutes, it’s cool again. Machine wash. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=201771
