Early learning and child care is a powerful equalizer, narrowing achievement gaps that emerge before children even start school. Educational child care is neede...d more than ever to help families address the trauma of the pandemic, to support parent employment and to ensure children aren’t left behind. https://www.theglobeandmail.com//article-a-strong-child-c/ See more

It's a difficult time for everyone but especially little ones. There is no easy way to explain what's going on around us but the best bet for parents and caregivers is through frequent conversations, acknowledging their feelings and frustrations and assuring them that this won't be forever but we need to keep the world healthy and this is a difficult part of that process. We've compiled a few e-books on our website to help start the conversation. www.rlelc.weebly.com/covid

We await the release of further details from the province on child care in Stage 2. Stay tuned!

Ironically, it's riskier in the long run to avoid risky play! "If children are given ample time outside, they don't lose this incredible sense that they have about their bodies and their capabilities. They will challenge themselves, in appropriately incremental ways, in order to gain the next small set of skills. We have seen this time and again with our toddlers who will test their limits balancing by starting on a small curb and then move on to something more difficult to balance on, like a fallen tree limb. Initially, they might ask for a finger or a hand to hold. Eventually, they conquer this new set of movements without any help and then progress on to something more difficult." https://1000hoursoutside.com//the-hidden-risks-of-avoiding

A child's behaviour may regress at times, with toileting accidents, walking more in the night, more or longer tantrums. Why does this happen, and how should we support them through this?
