Eagle Nest September Highlights!

September was full of wonderful fall experiences and opportunities for the children to learn through play and exploration. We spent lots of time outdoors and enjoyed watching the season begin to change around us.

The children went on neighbourhood walks and explored the natural environment around our centre. They collected acorns and had fun smashing and exploring them, which encouraged curiosity and hands-on discovery.

We also enjoyed pretend play with our baby toys! The children participated in a baby bath and grooming activity where they washed, cared for, and dressed the babies. This activity encouraged imaginative play, communication, caring behaviours, and social development.

As the leaves began to change, the children collected leaves during our outdoor time and explored their different colours, shapes, and textures. We used some of our collected leaves for creative activities, including cutting leaves and creating beautiful fall paintings.

We also had some meaningful experiences throughout the month. The children participated in the Terry Fox Walk at Fort Rouge Park and enjoyed being active outdoors with their friends. We also created orange shirt paintings to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This provided an opportunity to introduce the children to the importance of kindness, respect, and remembering the experiences of Indigenous children and families.

It was a wonderful month filled with outdoor adventures, creativity, pretend play, and opportunities to learn together!
