Older Floor - March and April

In March, we added a show and tell to our routine.  The children have the opportunity to bring in something from home every Wednesday.  Everyone is able to ask questions and learn about each others special item.  We also started doing circle time.  It ususally takes place after snack or before lunch.  We do letter of the day, number of the day for our caterpillar.  We practiced sounds and found different things that start with the same letter. 

Many different activities have been going on, on Older Floor.  We set up a Doctor's office/Hospital so the children are able to learn and act out the many different roles and scenarios.  They had lots of fun with this!  Each day we try to have a dance party.  The kids have been so interested in the "Gummy Bear" song and pretty much any song from Frozen.  With the nice weather, we've had the chance to walk to Ashland Park.  With so many puddles all the children enjoy going outside and testing out their rubber boots and splashing around!  All of the children have been interested in learning different things from around the world.  We've explored looking at the flags and their national anthems.

In April we planned an Easter hunt and it turned out to be such a great experience for our newer staff and the kids!  Kristina set up a huge Easter egg hunt in the play yard for our preschool children.  There were 56 plastic eggs hidden around the yard with candy in them.  Each child was able to find 2.  There was a lot of smiles and excitement from everyone!

The ZOO field trip was a lot of fun!  Getting on the big yellow bus is always so exciting for the kids and arriving at the Zoo was great as well.  Seeing all the animals and the polar bears swimming around left lots of the children in mouth dropping stares!

Giving your baby a bath

Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth. Long ago, as people got older, their teeth would rot away and be very painful. To get rid of a toothache, they had their teeth pulled out. Finally people ...

Use of Cough medicines takes away the lives of 5 kids

A sad and shocking announcement made by The Belgian Pharmaceutical Group UCB SA on March 7 2008, has aroused a huge storm among people. As per them their popular cough medicine by the name of Tussionex has taken the lives of 5 kids who were suffering from rigorous cough due to off beam use. This pharmaceutical group has also put forward an admonition among all doctors and medical practitioners to examine their patients thoroughly before prescribing this drug. Eric Miller who is the UCB SA presenter told the media that the cough medicine Tussionex Pennkinetic Extended-Release Suspension is a much stronger drug in nature.

Miller also stressed on the point that the company has got the Tussionex manufacturing authorization since 1987. Authoritarian experiments under all circumstances and studies have...
