Attn all sewers! We are using a TON of paper towel here at the Children's Centre! This is not only financially challenging to maintain but AWEFUL for our environment. Therefore we want to switch to a cloth towel system made from old receiving blankets or other suitable materials. In order to fully move away from the paper towel system we will need about 1500 of these little hand cloths made. This is far too much for us to handle in house so we are asking for help from our com...munity! They are very easy to make and do not require a sewer to be very experienced! If you are at all interested please join Cloths for the Children's Centre group for details on how you can help. And if not please share this with your sewing friends! We appreciate any and all help we can get! https://www.facebook.com/groups/386849929337353/
"Magic Light in the Sandbox" This post comes with an enormous shout out of gratitude to our participating parents! The parents involvement in the repair and upkeep of our buildings and environment truly adds to the magic of Quadra Children's Centre.
November Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/59868b953cb7/november-newsletter Wow, October sure was a busy month! We welcomed new children, we opened new programs and we celebrated together. Read all about it in November's newsletter.
Over the past several months we have been very busy working with the Quadra Island Bible Church preparing a second after school care space. We were thrilled to open our doors on Monday to Quadra Peaks, a program for children in grades 3-5, offering spacious indoor and outdoor play areas all within Quadra Island’s uniquely natural setting. During set-up we asked our community for donations of much needed supplies and once again we were blown away by the generous response! T...his photo only represents a small selection of the wonderful art, craft, games and activity items that our community members dropped off to the Children’s Centre. We also needed to stock our beautiful new space with food for snack preparation, baking and cleaning supplies. Once again we relied heavily on the combined efforts of our community members who selected Quadra Children’s Centre as the receiver of their spirit board points and to the amazing crew at our Tru Value stores who run such an incredibly generous and supportive program. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out in heaps to Murray Garland, Brent Austring, Tru Value Foods and our amazing community members. We strive to offer quality, affordable childcare to our community and we are excited now to be expanding the programs that we can offer to serve more of our community. Working together with you, we feel that we can achieve this. Thank you all so very much. See more
If the environment is our educator, we wonder, where might our first visit to Ian’s chicken coup take us? We are excited to follow and lead in this exploration of all things chicken as we learn and explore alongside our eager and curious children.
From our families to yours, we wish you a spooky, fun and safe Halloween!
October Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/cb22d477d2bc/october-newsletter Follow this link for all the October news! This eager crew has started the job of moving the delivered sand to our sand pile. We are hoping that a few equally eager parents can come and finish the job. You will not only be freshening up our tired sandbox but you will save money on your tuition! WIN/WIN. Contact Sue for details.
To lend balance to all this hand washing we focus on getting our hands good and dirty!
September Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/3cd9b8fd8eca/september-newsletter We are excited to be sending out our first newsletter since our closure in March! We have lots to catch up on as we review the comings and goings of our summer program.
Good afternoon everyone! We are looking for donations of school age toys/equipment to help get our new Quadra Peaks afterschool program off the ground! We are in search of items such as balls, skipping ropes, hockey sticks, outdoor toys, art supplies (such as glue guns, scissors, paper materials... really anything that can be used to craft!), books or magazines geared to grades 3-5, hoola hoops, or anything else that this age group would have fun with! If you have something y...ou would like to donate or sell please contact us or drop it off at the Childrens Centre! Thank you in advance for your support! See more
We would like to wish our preschool children moving on this fall all the very best in their new adventures! Last week we had the opportunity to celebrate with the children and their families. It may have looked very different from our annual summer party however some aspects remained the same. The joy the children felt at knowing this celebration was all about them - one child ran through the front gate yelling, This is all just for me! Well, it sure was! It was also wonderful to witness the mix of emotions as the children were presented their unique memory book by Lise. One of our favourite moments every year is watching the shared experience between the child and their parents as they flip through the pages of their memories at the Children’s Centre, this truly touches our hearts. As the sign says WE WILL MISS YOU!
We are so excited to announce the LAUNCH of our new programs for school-aged children! We are keeping our group sizes fairly small to ensure the safety of our children, staff and community but we still have room! So please give us an e-mail ([email protected]) or call @ 250-285-3511 (ask for Sydnie) to register or to have any of your questions or concerns answered. **EDIT** children do NOT need to be enrolled in school in order to participate in our afterschool programs**
A mermaid and two princesses in the sandbox, this image sums up another special week at Quadra Children's Centre. Inspired by Quadra Kids limitless imagination.
Halloween in August? Well if you put Quadra Kids imagination and their huge energy to work, the answer is a resounding YES! Initiated by the kids and enthusiastically supported by the teachers our Quadra Kids hosted a full blown Halloween party! Complete with a party for the preschoolers, haunted house for the teachers, games, tricks, a piñata, candy, decorations and LOTS more. Thanks to our talented Quadra Kids for a very special day at the Centre!
A big THANKS to Sid's parents who did a wonderful job renewing our road sign!
Wishing everyone a fabulous long weekend. Stay cool!
A lovely peek at what our soft opening looks like; small groups of children playing and learning together. In this case mixing up a pie and cleaning the mud kitchen.
We have been working towards our soft re-opening for essential tier 1 families and we are getting very excited that tomorrow is the big day! We wish to thank Elijah Faulkner and Scott Anderson for their ongoing support with the maintenance of our buildings and grounds throughout our closure. A special shout out to Dee McPhee and family for getting our gardens and mud kitchen in tip top shape for the children’s arrival. We ask that returning families take a moment to look a...t our WELCOME board at the entrance of the preschool building and the MESSAGE board in Quadra Kids program for special notices which will help to keep us all safe during these times. We welcome you back with gleeful open hearts.
