The School Age children are happy to be back "home" at J.A. Cuddy Child Care Centre.  We have had a very busy month.  On our inservice day in October, we turned the room into our own restaurant, where the children got the opportunity to cut up potatoes, carrots, seasoned a roast beef, and baked cupcakes.  When everything was all cooked and ready to go, some of our School Agers became waitresses and served the gourmet meal to their friends. Since the weather has been so beautiful, we have been spending lots of time outside.  Our Kindergarten program has been busy as well.  They have been interested in a variety of science experiments and lots of outdoor play.  They even went around town and cleaned up the garbage!  Great work Kinders!

Preschool has been very busy since we've been back to the centre.  We are very excited to welcome Finn, Maddy, Kyra, Roghan, and Dylan to Younger Floor and Joseph to Older Floor. With Halloween being the big excitement in October, the staff implemented many different activities surrounding this theme.  The children made lots of art and room decorations, pinned and threw spiders onto home-made webs throughout the room, and had many Halloween-themed dance parties. The children got quite messy outdoors, but had an absolute blast while doing it.  They splashed in puddles and worked very hard at gathering leaves into a pile to jump in.  The children were eager to help clean up the backyard area, and we learned that they are very good at raking.  If you still have yard work to do, get your children to help out! The Younger Floor preschool group changed their Daily Living Area into a car shop where the children enjoy driving/parking their cars, repairing their cars wit...

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 thei...
