Happy Wednesday to all our children and families! We miss you all and can't wait to be together again!!!

Ice Block Treasure Hunt is a great summer activity for the kids! They will have so much fun excavating the toys out of the ice. Just give them a few tools around the house (hammer, screwdriver, fork, spoon etc.), and watch them dig for joy. They will want to do this over and over again! https://jugglingwithkids.com///ice-block-treasure-hun.html

Thinking of our children and families!!

Squishing, rolling, sculpting, molding . . . children love to play with playdough! Beyond being fun, play dough has several important benefits for childrens development. Fine Motor Development, vocabulary, creativity and therapeutic value are just some of the benefits when children playing with playdough. Here is a basic playdough recipe you can make at home! https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com/no-cook-playdough/

Happy Tuesday to all our children and families. We miss you!!

Gardening is a great option to get the kids outside and keep them occupied! Whether you have a full garden, few pots or recycled milk cartons, digging in the dirt, planting flowers, watering plants and pulling weeds can engage all senses and enhance fine motor development. https://handsonaswegrow.com/flower-garden-kids

String laser maze is a great physical activity to do indoors! Have your children weave and twist their way through the maze from start to finish. If you dont have string you could also use masking tape, yarn or crepe paper streamers. Enjoy! https://www.itsalwaysautumn.com/diy-hallway-laser-maze-indo

Emergency Child Care Services The Thunder Bay District Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB) is coordinating emergency child care services for the community. Those who are essential frontline workers that are in need of child care can register at www.thunderbaychildcare.ca. The Citys Algoma Child Care Centre will be one of the operating emergency child care centres. Children will be assigned to a centre based upon DSSAB prioritization and not based upon regular clientele. Registration must be completed through DSSAB and cannot be done directly through the City or the Centre.
