Dreams & Discoveries Preschool

Easter fun, pj day, egg hunt, painting eggs and celebrating a special birthday!

We had so much fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Rainbow rice in the sensory bin, our traditional lucky charm breakfast and leprechaun chocolate coin riddle hunt. Magnetile creations keep expanding and elaborating everyday!

Daily creative art time, creations, Dr. Seuss week, puppet shows and new friendships blossoming.

The building continues and gets more elaborate everyday. We welcomed a new friend to the group, everyone is very excited about that! Special story time compliments of our school aged friend, the children LOVED her rendition of "The 3 Little Pigs". Lots of outdoor snowy fun as well.

Sparkly snow painting

Painting with plants from our garden ... nature's paint brushes

The thought process, time spent and social skills learnt with building blocks always amazes me

some quotes from the children today as we discussed Earth Day: "We need trees to breathe." (A age 4) "The earth doesn't have arms so she can't clean herself." (A age 3) "Let's give extra love to the Earth." (A age 3)...

Awwwww Earth Day a few years back

Spring celebration fun!

I have never been more grateful of the work I choose to do. I have run my private preschool for 12 years and like all of us I have never encountered this kind of challenging time that the world is all experiencing. I want to take the time to thank the amazing families I work with ...to the clients that have brought items that they know are so needed right now...from toilet paper, bleach , wipes , paper towel, peanut butter lol to wine To the clients that honoured their no...tice policy even when laid off ...still finding a way to pay their fees which keeps my doors open to the families still in need of care and my own family fed. To my amazing group of children that bring their unconditional love , innocent inquiring minds and admirable ability to really live in the present moment each day. Thank you for keeping me grounded and focused on what truly matters most in life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The feeling of community, love and support is a comforting reminder that we are ALL in this together I hope that this is all behind us as quickly as it arrived and that we all stay healthy , strong and compassionate in the meantime.
