During a nature walk, one of our Educators created these for the children to take with them. As they came across dandelions, the children picked them and placed them into the holes outlining their name. By the end of the walk, they had a beautiful boquet of flowers that also spelled out their names. This activity checks off all the boxes! Gross motor, fine motor, outside play, and education all in one. 

Did you know that loose parts play is a great resource to facilitate learning? When children play with loose parts, they are strengthening their sense of self and independence. Loose parts play is often child led and requires the imagination, critical thinking skills, and often keeps children engaged for longer periods of time.

Check out the loose parts area one of our Educators has included into her programming! This Educator reported that the children were very excited about this invitation to play and could not wait to get started. It is so fun to watch all the different ways children use these items. They could be anything from a steering wheel, to a slice of bread.

One of our Educators set up this creative Christmas dramatic play space to surprise her day home children. The children were able to decorate their stockings to place on the mantle and decorate the tree together. Very festive and fun!

Play is the best possible way for your child to learn and grow. Our Educators provide lots of uninterrupted play opportunities so your child can grow and develop to their full potential.

We hope your family enjoys many happy moments over the holiday season. May your days be filled with love and laughter. All the best to you and yours!

Our Educators attended a conference this weekend surrounding the Emergent Curriculum. Check out the most common words they used to describe their image of the child! 

Take a look at the following article that explains why a child’s sense of wonder is so important: https://rainorshinemamma.com/why-we-must-protect-and-nurture-our-childrens-sense-of-wonder/

Here are the cliff notes for what emergent curriculum is. Your Educator has been learning about and working hard to implement these into their programming. You may have observed some of these already.

Happy Early Childhood Educator Day! We can’t thank our Educator’s enough for all of their hard work and dedication they put into their programming each and every day.
