October Highlights & What's Ahead
October has been a wonderful month full of outdoor exploration, hands-on learning, teamwork, and opportunities to connect with nature! As we enjoy the beautiful colours of fall, the children have been building new skills, practising independence, and making special memories together. Here are some highlights from our month and a few reminders for the weeks ahead.
Garden Clean-Up & Little Nature Explorers
Our Kindergarten children also rolled up their sleeves and worked hard during our garden clean-up! Everyone had an opportunity to help tidy up our garden and prepare it for the colder months ahead.
The children showed wonderful teamwork, enthusiasm, and responsibility as they worked together. One of the most exciting discoveries was finding lots of earthworms in the soil! This sparked curiosity and gave us a great opportunity to talk about the important role worms play in keeping soil healthy.
Through this hands-on experience, the children explored the natural world, practised caring for our environment, and learned that even small creatures have an important place in nature. We are so proud of their hard work and willingness to help!
Community Walks & Fall Discoveries
Our Kindergarten children have been enjoying community walks to Alfred Park, making the most of the last warm days of autumn. Along the way, we practised walking safely as a group, staying together, following directions, and being aware of our surroundings.
We also took time to slow down and observe the changing season around us. The children noticed colourful leaves, fallen branches, and other signs that nature is getting ready for winter. These walks provide wonderful opportunities to develop observation skills, curiosity, and an appreciation for the world around us.
Spending time outdoors also helps children build confidence, develop gross motor skills, and learn about community safety in a fun and meaningful way. We are grateful for these special moments together before the colder weather settles in!
A quick reminder: Please ensure your child has a pair of indoor shoes at the centre, along with a complete set of spare clothing. We want every child to feel comfortable, warm, and ready to enjoy their day!
Important Reminder: Nap Time
Please note that our nap/rest time has changed. Nap time is now from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Thank you for helping us maintain a consistent daily routine for the children. Rest time gives them an opportunity to recharge and support their well-being throughout the day.
