Infant Room Update

Well it is nice to be back in our own space.  We are so thankful that the Domain Community Hall provided a beautiful space for us back in September/October.

Thank you to everyone for all of your wonderful donations and for all the help we recieved while we were in Domain.  The outpouring of support was wonderful to see and we cannot be more thankful for all the things you have done for us.

We said good-bye to Dylan, Stella, Roghan, Finn, and Kyra this fall.  Congratulations on moving to Preschool!  We will miss you!

We welcomed Blake, Lexi, Tripp, Emilia, and Emma into our program.  We are so happy to see all the new and smiling faces.

When we were in Domain, the infants enjoyed playing in the trees.  We pretended the fallen trees were horses and we went for countless horse rides.  We pulled off some of the bark and felt the tree with our fingers.  We also found caterpillars and touched their soft fur.  We turned them upside down to find their feet, and wow..there were lots of them!

We also enjoyed playing in the fort the School-Agers made in the forest at the back of the Domain School grounds.  We really miss the open-ended opportunities the outdoor space provided in Domain.

Once we moved back in to J.A. Cuddy Child Care Centre, we had the opportunity to engage in messy play once again.  The children used their fine motor skills to squish and manipulate some home-made playdough.  We also made bats, pumpkins, and ghosts for Halloween.  We had a great time dressing up for Halloween and joining the Preschoolers in a Monster Mash Dance Party.

The children have shown a great interest in balls, so we have be practicing how to roll a ball between or legs.  The children also love to chase the balls when the teachers throw them.

We are looking forward to the beautiful weather forecasted for the next little while.  Stay tuned for next month's update!
