Dear Parents,
We are already in October and the wonderful weather we have experienced allows us to spend the majority of time outside in the school yard. Outdoor play is a vital part of your child's day - a time that provides opportunities for relationship building, collaborative games, self-directed play and time to be with friends of all ages. Below are a few reminders and some new items that might interest you.
Nursery Children:
On Wednesdays, children need to bring a lunch
Each Friday, the rest sheets are sent home to be washed and returned on Mondays. Thank you for your assistance.
The schedule for your child is as follows:
12:00-12:40 lunch with adult assistance, if needed
12:40-1:00 story time: stories read by ECE staff member
1:00-2:30 rest time: sleep, puzzles, books
2:30-3:30 play time, snack, story, pick up
3:30-6:00 JK and SK students join our group. Outdoor play / indoor play
Staff: Silvana 11:00-6:00; Chriss 11:30-6:00; Kenisha 12:00-5:00 (M,T,W,F)
Morning Care:
Luis welcomes the children beginning at 8:00am with a big smile and open arms. He provides table activities which the children enjoy doing with their friends and siblings. At 8:45, Luis dismisses the older children and he escorts the younger Nursery children to their classroom.
Afternoon Care:
It is so lovely to observe the JK children make connections with the new Nursery children in the Primary Group. The children are enjoying the beautifully renovated Nursery room.
Clubs:
Creative Play on Wednesday for JK and SK children: Chris and Debbie are working with the children on explorational play and providing many art projects this term.
Chess on Mondays, 3:30-4:45: Sasa has welcomed 11 children this term. There is still space for more. Let us know if you are interested. This club is open to daycare + non-daycare students.
