- MONDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Something as simple as sitting down to dinner together as a family can go a long way in helping a child fend off obesity.

That's just one of the findings from new research that suggests that family behaviors can have a significant impact on the weight of preschool children. Other behaviors that may help youngsters stay slim include getting adequate sleep and limiting time in front of the TV.

"Four-year-olds who regularly ate dinner with the family, got enough sleep and watched less than two hours of TV a day were 40 percent less likely to be obese," said the study's lead author, Sarah Anderson, an assistant professor of epidemiology in the College of Public Health at Ohio State University in Columbus.

Valentine Parties
ELC Valentine Parties will be Wednesday, February 10 and Thursday, February 11. If you are interested in helping with your child’s party, please contact your child’s teacher or class room parent.

Your child will need to bring a Valentine card for each child in the class, including him/herself. We ask that you let your child “sign” their cards, but please do not address them. This makes it much easier for the children to distribute the cards; one card for each sack or box.

**Remember that this year we have a special treat.  The valentines and picture stickers are from Teddy Bear Portriats.**
Weather Closings
Now that colder weather is here, please be aware that we follow the Richardson Independent School District closings. If they cancel school due to ice or snow, then the ELC will be closed. If the RISD delays opening, the ELC will be closed. There may be occasions when the RISD chooses to remain open and the ELC makes a decision to close school due to hazardous road conditions. If this happens, you will receive a phone call from an ELC staff member. Snow days are not made up.
Pre-Registration began Jan 1st for the 2010-11 School Year.
Call today 972.235.8233 to Pre-Register for the Fall.
