We found a leaf that is so thick and strong when we’re walking around the neighborhood! Children are curious about the leaf therefore we decided to pick some up and let them feel it, touch it, draw on it, and explore on it. #childcare #sensoryactivity #nature #artactivity #infantandtoddlers #spontaneous #babysteps @ Baby Steps Infant and Toddler Care

Introduce our new friendly face My name is Jenny Yuan. I completed Early Childhood Education diploma in Sprott Shaw College. ... I am an easy-going and optimistic person who enjoys connecting with others. I am so glad to have this opportunity to work with children and teach them with everything I know. I hope this experience will help them grow healthy and happy. I started Latin dance at the age of 6. When I visit China during the summer vacation, I teach young children Latin dance. I also have experienced in caring children with special needs. I occasionally take care of an eleven-year-old child with Angel Syndrome. I pursue Early Childhood Education because I enjoy working with children. I hope children can learn something new from me as I support their growth and development in various areas. I have finished my Infant and Toddler practicum at Baby Steps Infant and Toddler Care. I really enjoy my time with all Baby Steps families. I am very excited to grow with Baby Steps families!

Even in the pandemic, Baby Steps works so hard to clean, sanitize, organize and take care of our garden. Plants are glowing and children are slowly coming back. And we follow our emergency plans and keep practicing the social distancing. Hope everyone stays healthy and see you soon!

*The new sign in/out station located outside. *Wash hands all the time. *Clean and sanitize things more than 3 times a day. *Keep your distance from others. *Stay Healthy. ... *When you feel sick, Stay home. It seems things have been changed abit since the Pandemic. But we know we are strong and we can defeat it as long as we know how things has to be done. We have planed the new emergency Policy and Procedures. We put extra precautions to our centre and all activities with children. Slowly but perfectly we are getting ready to the new normal. Lets do this together!

Field trip : Aberdeen mall shopping. We took a bus on Cambie St to Aberdeen mall. Children were amazed by fish and vegetables on the shelves at the grocery store. People at the mall were very friendly to children and allowed us to see things and touch stuff. It was a short local field trip but good enough to explore and support our community.

It snowed 15 cm in Metro Vancouver in the last couple of days. We built a snowmen family.

The first snow in town of this season. Such a blast time to make a snow man!

Happy New Year! The very first day of 2020 at school! Good to see you guys back again!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

A Surprise field trip to the library. Our toddlers decided to go to library in cambie branch. It happens with a nice sunny day today, they finished an early morning snack and it was so hard to resist not to take an adventure today. So! Teachers and toddlers made a small and short trip to the library. We walked to the bus stop and took a bus for only two stops, we arrived the library. This richmond library in cambie branch is like an amusement park for children. There are tons of children books and toys and circle times with a librarian too. Baby steps toddlers enjoyed a bus ride and books so much. Even they chose books to burrow for December! Hopefully the next surprise adventure will happen soon!

Happy fun play day!

Baby Steps has been prepared Christmas little early so that it will last as long as it can be with us. The lit up tree brings us a joy!

We have rearranged our setup. Children are very excited to be in very much creative spaces now.

Children love books. Touching and looking and feeling them. They pretend reading it too. Literally they love books. It can be another way of they learn something from books today again.

Have you guys tried an autumn picnic? It feels relaxing and amazing. Children loved the fall sunray.

The autumn arrives in Baby Steps. A Beautiful Sunday, we decorated our main gate with orange pumpkins. Children cant stop talking about pumpkins all day!

Meeting our teacher Hi, my name is Joy. I was born and raised in South Korea.

I started playing piano when I was five. I was a piano teacher for 18 years in Korea and I have various experiences of working with children and secondary school students too. I believe that children have a great musical rhythm in them so that I would like to bring my musical talents and skills to Baby Steps so that children can sing and play songs. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my friends, watch TVs, and try many new restaurants!

Happy Hump day!

Another rainy day activity! We are enjoying the rainy day right before Vancouvers fall comes.

Children decide not only what they will paint or draw but also what materials they will use to paint with. Today, they go with stamp paint with various materials.

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn. -O. Fred Donaldoson

Start where you are, Use what you have, Do what you can! I hope you start your Monday great!

I was writing this with a child, the child was wondering what I was writing about. And I read it loud You dont have to be perfect to be amazing. And the child said You are amazing! The child made my day just like that. Hppay Friday!!

Children draw their imagination with chalks. They chose colours what they like, drawing lines and shapes, and they are singing songs with it, too.

Wonderful Thursday!

The Rainy day activity! Children make their own way to play activities. They explore nature and get ideas how to interact with it. It comes with their creativity and develop their senses of wonder for natural environment. But most of all, it is just alot of fun! Enjoy your rainy day in Summer!
