We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit. - Maria Montessori National Child Day has been celebrated across Canada since 1993 to commemorate the United Nations' adoption of two documents centered on children's rights: the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1959, and the United Nations ...Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989. Canada made a commitment to ensure that all children are treated with dignity and respect. This commitment includes the opportunity for children to have a voice, be protected from harm and be provided with their basic needs and every opportunity to reach their full potential.

"The little child’s first movements were instinctive. Now, he acts consciously and voluntarily, and with this comes an awakening of his spirit. Conscious will is a power which develops with use and activity. We must aim at cultivating the will. Its development is a slow process that evolves through a continuous activity in relationship with the environment." - Maria Montessori

We love wading through the puddles...did a few puddle laps!!

We talked about Remembrance Day, our country, peace, freedom and gratitude. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.... If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae May 3, 1915 See more
