Celebration of Life
Birthdays are important and exciting for young children. Each child at Marvelously Made is honored on his/her birthday at gathering time during a “Celebration of Life”. At this time, the birthday child will have the opportunity to wear the Birthday Cape and/or Crown and the teacher will read a narrative of their life which has been completed by the child's parents. Afterwards our version of “Happy Birthday” will be sung. All celebrations will be scheduled by the teachers and take place on the closet school day to the child’s actual birthdate whenever possible. Children with summer birthdays will be assigned a birthday celebration date sometime during the school year.
At the beginning of the year each parent is asked to complete an online Celebration of Life form with the date of his/her child's celebration. Parents can fill out the Celebration of Life form online and teachers will hold on the forms until the child's celebration date. Please fill out the google form by clicking on the button below.
Snacks
Due to the large number of children with nut allergies, Marvelously Made strives to provide a peanut and nut free environment. We acknowledge that we can make no guarantee that nuts or nut products won't be brought into the school, however, we strongly request that snacks be free of nuts and that snacks processed in factories where nuts are present, not be sent for snack or at any other time.
We are very thankful to all of our wonderful parents who do such a great job of sending in healthy, yummy snacks for their child!
Health Requirements
Allergy Emergency Plan
The state of Texas requires each child who is diagnosed, by a health care professional with an allergy, food or otherwise, to have an emergency plan at school. The emergency plan must be signed by the doctor or health care professional AND the parent. You may use the form below or one provided by your doctor.

Parent Orientation
August 31, 2023 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
First Baptist Church of Helotes, 14889 Old Bandera Rd, Helotes, TX 78023, USA
Parent Orientation is an adults-only evening and an important opportunity to become familiar with school policies, take care of required paperwork, meet our teaching team, turn in tuition, and purchase school t-shirts and hear more about our school’s philosophy and procedures.
Your presence at this event will set the foundation for your child to have a successful year at school. At least one parent from each family (new and returning) is expected to attend.
Children's Visiting Day
September 1, 2023 10:00 am - 11:30 am
During visiting day, children can visit the school with a parent to see the classroom and get acquainted with the teachers. You will be assigned a designated time to attend according to your child's class. For many children, this will be the first time to visit Marvelously Made and the very first school experience. This can be overwhelming for many young children so we ask that only one adult accompany each child and that, if at all possible, siblings not attend.

If a dad can't attend, a grandpa or other special person in the child's life may come along. No siblings are allowed on this day, so please make proper arrangements.
If no one can be at school for your child, please let the teacher know.

Parent Education Night
November 9, 2023 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Book your sitter now as this is a don't miss event!
It truly is crucial that each child have at least one parent attend each of the Parent Education Nights (we have one in November and one in February). Parents who participate in these have a much better understanding of what the children are doing at school, make connections with other parents and build stronger relationships for themselves and their children, and have fewer questions about what is happening at Marvelously Made. We host these for you and the benefit of your children!
Gingerbread Dough Mixing Night
November 14, 2023 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Bring yourself and your KitchenAid mixer to help us mix the dough for our fabulous Gingerbread Houses. As always, many hands (and mixers) make light work! A Sign-Up Genius link will be sent for you to volunteer in the first week of November.
