Our Purple Pages are mini-newsletters which Gretchen's House developed in response to frequently asked questions, parent surveys, and requests for reading materials. These summarize basic developmental issues, Gretchen's House approach to handling each issue in the classroom, and suggestions for families.

We've posted some of our most popular pages on this website; those titles are highlighted. Click on the title to read text. The other flyers are available at the centers, and are also available online for currently enrolled parents (please speak to your center staff for the password).
