It was a busy month at Daycare! We learned all about bats, spiders and monsters! We made monster cupcakes, and bat cookies. The month ended with our Halloween Party which was so much fun! We all wore our costumes, danced and ate lots of treats. This month is all about all different types of transportation and then we will head deep into space!

We started our balloon popping countdown to Halloween and last week was all about pumpkins! We heard pumpkin stories, made paper pumpkins and baked our favourite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. We loved pumpkin hammering, but our favourite activity was playing in our "Witch's Kitchen" house room. We are getting very excited as Halloween gets closer. This week is all about Monsters and bats!

Wishing all our families, past and present, a Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for all of you!

It has been so much fun at daycare these past week. We learned all aboutcrops and fruit that are harvested in the Fall . We counted, patterned and painted apples. After a taste test we made delicious applesauce. We talked about what we were thankful for and made turkeys and turkey hats. On Thursday with Teacher Kelly’s help we made cranberry sauce, stuffing and pumpkin tarts. On Friday we celebrated Thanksgiving with a turkey hot lunch that was so good! The Centre is beginning to look alot like Halloween is near! We are so excited because next week is all about pumpkins!

In September we all got back into our new normal routines. We were so happy to see friends that had been away, and we met some new friends! We celebrated the season of Fall and learned all about fall leaves, trees, animals, colours and food! Our Infant Toddlers were busy learning all about Farm animals. We are very exciting because next week we will celebrate Thanksgiving and help Kelly make our traditional turkey hot lunch!

All ready for a great start for a new year!

Good Afternoon Everyone! Thank you to all of you that have phoned or messaged and voiced your concerns about us here in the trenches! We are all well and surviving on humour, coffee, and way too many treats! We are open and plan on remaining open until the Government mandates us to close or if there is a confirmed case of covid 19 associated with families of the Centre. We are continuing to take precautions with extra handwashing, and trying to maintain a healthy environmen...t. We appreciate those that have been able to stay home and or voluntarily self isolate with their children, as this allows families who work for essential services to continue assisting those who need it while we provide care for their children. To our past and present daycare family we send you all an air hug, from a socially acceptable distance Stay well! Lots of love! See more

Due to the Leprechaun's lucky travels, we assume he is self-quarantining! We will be postponing our Leprechaun day until further notice!

Spring is here at Daycare! We finished our theme of Pets with a Paw Patrol Party and have spent the week learning all about different types of weather!

Just a reminder tomorrow is hot lunch! We're having hot dogs and cheezies!

We are having so much fun playing in our Paw Patrol house room. This week we talked all about different Pets and dogs! We read lots of stories, played sorting and patterning games, gave a dog a donut, made dog puppets and collaged our own dogs. This week we will be learning all about cats, birds and fish!

This past week we had a Unicorn Day and made our own unicorns. The rest of the week was all about love. We stamped and made spin art hearts, played heart math games and practiced our fine motor skills Valentine style. Our Infant Toddlers have been busy also, painting, and collaging and celebrating Valentine's Day! We ended the week with a Valentine party. It was lots of fun. We made heart crowns, Valentine bracelets, decorated cookies, ate lots of treats and gave out Valentin...es for all our friends. Next week we are excited because we are going to learn all about different pets and how to take care of them. Teacher Tunde and Teacher Tara have been working on a Paw Patrol House room for our Pets theme and we can't wait!

We have been so busy here! We loved learning all about the Princess. We had a tea party with Belle and made and tried the "gray stuff" it was delicious! We danced the hula, had pineapple smoothies and made our own lei's just like Princess Moana! With Princess Pocahontas we learned how to respect nature and did forest crafts. We celebrated Princess Rapunzel with a Wacky Hair Day and we are growing our own grass 'hair' in little pots. We finished the week learning all about all our favourite Superhero's! This week is all about the colour red, hearts, and love as we celebrate Valentine's Day!

We were all feeling very "Royal" this week! We learned all about a Princess in a paper bag, dragons and knights. We had a blast on our Frozen Day, dressing up and eating snowflake cookies. Our Superhero section was also lots of fun!... But our highlight of the week was playing in the Beauty and the Beast house room that Teachers Tunde and Nicky made! Next week we will celebrate Chinese New Year and talk about Princess Cinderella, have a luau with Moana and try some gray stuff with Belle!

We were so excited to be back together after the Christmas break! We learned all about the season of Winter! We crafted snowflakes and snowmen, drank hot chocolate and ended with a PJ Hibernation party. The weather cooperated by "dumping" alot of snow on us that most of us loved playing in! Next week we will be all feeling a little Royal as we start talking about Princess and Princes. We are very excited to see Teacher Tunde's Beauty and the Beast House room!
