We're still focused on teaching and nurturing and have found safe ways to implement an enriching program despite all the current restrictions in place.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Here are some photos from the toddler program. They show how the classroom setup promotes physical distancing and safety while implementing an emergent curriculum. Each child has the opportunity to participate in individual sensory play which encourages safety. Once they have finished playing with sensory items, the toys and sensory bins are sanitized and the sensory material, whether it be sand, water or other play materials are discarded.

The school-age children were given an opportunity to create art using inspiration from nature and objects they had inside their classroom.

Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two. Check out the article by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to find out the differences.

The toddlers explored the changing of the seasons through sensory exploration. They listened to the crunching of the leaves under their feet, they splashed in puddles and watched the ripples move, and they collected leaves to identify all the different colours.

The preschoolers have been looking at incorporating science into their art activities. They investigated how water reacts with chalk. This activity provided them with opportunities for fine motor practice, sensory play and creativity.

A friendly reminder about our AGM tonight. We hope to see you there.

The toddlers have been developing their fine motor skills through the use of manipulative materials. They have shown an interest in sensory items and have created individual discovery bottles for their classroom.
