Merry Everything & Happy All-of-it!!! Here’s to a Winter Break that feeds our hearts and souls... whatever it is that we need in the here and now We are very aware that resting and relaxing are not always easy to do with the excitement and emotions that come from holidays, so be kind to yourselves and enjoy this time however you need to (or can!)

Covid-19 has hit all of us in one way or another. Without government intervention we are facing mounting challenges with maintaining safe operations and providing much needed support to our families. Please see below our advocacy efforts on your behalf! We are all in this together! https://docs.google.com//1jmEVghUiFmMkihqU043R/mobilebasic

Look at the differences between a typical preschool child’s hand (left) and a typical 7 year old hand (right). Want to know why a preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet? This is why! Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? SUPER-DUPER EASY ANSWER...PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwi...ng balls, etc. All of these ways to play lead to helping their hands develop and strengthen! Rest assured, as we know this is often a point of concern or worry for parents... when a child’s hands are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready.
