This week we tapped into our imagination and not only shared about imaginary friends but also listened to the story “The Adventures of Beekle”, by Dan Santat. They then painted their very own portrait of their imaginative character.

Practices, Policies and Procedures
2018 – 2019 School Year Integrated Pest Management Plan Annual Notification
Per the Healthy School Act, following is the Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) for Pasadena Christian Preschool.
Address: 1485 N. Los Robles Ave. Pasadena, CA 91104; Phone Number: 626.791.1214
IPM Coordinator: Director of Environmental Services
Integrated Pest Management Plan
IPM Statement: It is the goal of Pasadena Christian Preschool to implement IPM by focusing on long-term prevention or suppression of pests through accurate pest identification, by frequent monitoring for pest presence, by applying appropriate action levels, and by making the habitat less conducive to pests using sanitation and mechanical and physical controls. Pesticides that are effective will be used in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property, and the environment, and only after the other options have been show ineffective
Our pest management objectives are to:
- Focus on long-term pest prevention
- Focus on natural, mechanical and/or physical controls to manage pests when possible
- When pesticides are deemed necessary, we will aim to use products that minimize risks to people, property and the environment
IPM Team
In addition to the IPM Coordinator, following are other individuals who are involved in purchasing, making IPM decision, applying pesticides and complying with the Healthy Schools Act:
- PCS Environmental Services Staff
- Preschool Director
- PCS Chief Financial Officer
Pest Management Contracting
Pest management services are contracted to a licensed pest control business.
Name of business: Ecola (click to visit website)
Pest Identification, Monitoring, and Inspection
Pest identification is done by the following groups/individuals:
- Contracted pest control business (Ecola)
- PCS Environmental Services team
Monitoring and inspecting for pests and conditions that lead to pest problems are done regularly by:
- Ecola, the contracted pest control business, conducts inspections and treatment on the FOURTH SATURDAY of each month
- PCS Environmental Services staff, weekly walk-through and as needed
- PCS Preschool employees, daily visual inspections
Pests and Non-Chemical Management Practices
We will use the following non-chemical management practices prior to using pesticides should the following pests be found at the center:
- Ants: sanitation, eliminating food sources, sealing cracks, installing barriers, bait traps
- Bees: regular inspection, physical removal of nests
- Termites: eliminate food sources, replace infested structures, install bariers
- Spiders: seal cracks, physical removal, natural deterrents (painting dark areas white)
- Rodents: sanitation, eliminating food sources, sealing cracks, installing barriers, physical removal, traps
When the above-mentioned practices are ineffective, the school will use our contracted pest control company to use pesticides as necessary.
Chemical Management Practices
If non-chemical methods are ineffective, our school will consider pesticides only after careful monitoring indicates that they are needed according to pre-established action levels and will use pesticides that pose the least possible hazard and are effective in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property and the environment.
This child care centers uses Ecola, a contracted pest control business to apply pesticides on our behalf on the FOURTH SATURDAY of each month to treat for ants and other insects as they have proven difficult to manage without the use of chemical assistance. Pesticide data sheets can be viewed in the front office.
Pesticides that may be applied at this center include (data sheets available in the front office):

Fun in the Sun! Week 7
It’s hard to believe that we are so close to the end of summer camp but what a summer camp it has been. This week was full of fun and adventure from the Discovery Cube in Santa Ana to our amazing ventriloquist. Thank you God for blessing us with such a fantastic week. Seven down…one to go!
Fun in the Sun! Week 6
What a wet and wild week it has been here at Summer Camp! This week we enjoyed learning about Prayer in Chapel, creating exotic creatures in art, questing with “Go Diego Go!” on popcorn and movie day, devouring delicious hot dogs for our Friday feast, and capping off our adventure with water slides and bounce houses! We thank God for blessing us with so many amazing experiences and look forward to what’s to come.
Fun in the Sun! Week 5
Our first week of Second Session has been a blast! We’ve been flying high with so many exciting things to do at camp. Whether it’s splashing in water play, singing in Chapel, or playing in our classrooms, there is always something fun to see, hear, touch and experience. It was especially exciting to finish out our week with a full camp bird show in the auditorium. We can hardly wait to see what God has in store for us next week.
Summer Kinder Days
Well, we are more than halfway through our Kinder Camp summer! We have been busy, busy, busy with water days, snow cones, letter and number recognition, learning to be responsible members of our school community, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, and sweating! 😉. We are looking forward to our next and final field trip to Discovery Cube on July 26th. The next three weeks will fly by and then your precious blessings will jump into the next school chapter of their lives! Check out all the fun we’ve been having…
Fun in the Sun! Week 4
What a week we’ve had here at camp! While the nation celebrated it’s independence, we all celebrated the final week of our first summer session. Our first four weeks of summer may have flown by but we will remember the fantastic times we’ve had together. We will especially recall the fun of our Pump and Splash day with temperatures hitting 113 degrees. God knew we’d need water play to deal with the heat and as always, He provided. The popsiclies also helped keeps us cool too.
