Hello preschool parents. The most recent provincial restrictions do not extend to preschool. Licensed preschools and day homes are remaining open. We have the festival tent set up so class is entirely outdoors now. In the event of dangerous wind, lighting, or hard rain, we will move indoors to our classroom. Otherwise, it's full-steam ahead with outdoor play and learning. Thank you... Todd, Svetlana, and Nancy. See more

Loving the view from our brand new bird blind!

Good evening preschool families. As you may know the bird blind is being rebuilt in the Sanctuary. This has had the unintended consequence of squeezing our parking situation during preschool drop off and pick up. While we are in the midst of construction, please feel free to pull up along the curb in front of the building, shut your vehicle off, and walk your kids in/out. You are also welcome to use the bus parking on the north west side of the parking lot. Thanks for your patience. Fingers crossed, it'll only be a few more weeks. Todd

The kids were just fascinated by these three moose we were lucky enough to see this morning at McKenzie Trails!

From all of us Kerry Wood Nature Centre and @Fort Normandeau we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Instead of cooping yourself up inside this holiday season take a break, enjoy the gift of nature and #explorereddeersbackyard Tourism Red Deer

With winter coming we are asking parents to please provide the following for their child for every class. - Masks, at least 2. Wearing a mask outside for a longer period of time when it is cold is similar to wearing a scarf. Breathing on it makes it wet. When we come inside every child needs a fresh, dry mask. - Inside shoes. To wear in the classroom when we come inside.... - Waterproof Mittens. Mini gloves get wet quickly resulting in cold hands. - Boots with Long Socks. Short ankle length socks fall down inside their boots making the children’s feet uncomfortable. - A Coat and a Toque - Splash pants or Snow Pants (depending on the temperature). - Extra set of clothes including socks and underwear. Thank you all! It has been our pleasure to work with an amazing group of children this fall. We love our Kerry Wood Kids!
