Toddler Room #1 

August already! We are hoping summer slows down just a little. I’m sure all of you are enjoying summer just as much as we are.

We have been having so much fun learning all about nutrition. The toddlers have been so engaged learning  about new vegetables & fruits, different food groups and treats. They have been very vocal about what they like and do not like.

We would like to welcome all our new little friends; we are so excited to get to know them. We will miss our older friends moving to the preschool room but know you are ready for this exciting adventure.

Just a reminder that we are closed Monday, August 5th for the Civic holiday. As well as Monday, September 2nd for Labour Day.

 

Toddler Room #2

We can’t believe summer is almost over! We loved hearing about the vacations you have been on and how you’ve been enjoying the warm weather. It seems many of the toddlers’ favourite parts of summer were going swimming and the Essex Fun Fest.

We spent a lot of time in July working on our colours. The toddlers have gotten very good at matching items of the same colour; however, we’re still trying to work at recognizing and naming our colours. This will be a continued process over the coming months.

The toddlers love to imitate rest time, covering up their friends, baby dolls and the occasional teacher, they pat their backs until they ‘fall asleep.’ Based on this interest we created a ‘house keeping’ dramatic play centre, complete with a play washing machine, changing table and high chairs as well as strollers and vacuums. The children love to take turns feeding their babies in the high chairs and walking them around the room in the strollers. They’ve also tried to lend a hand to the teachers by bringing the vacuum over as we sweep after snack time.

Reminder: Story Book ELC will be closed Monday, August 5th  for the Civic Holiday, as well as Monday, September 2nd, for Labour Day. Enjoy your long weekend!
