Science, science, science in the school age room.  We did so many different science experiments and activities.  We did some activities that involved making our own launchers, lego zip lines and created our own slime. We had to say farewell to one of our school age staff, Connie.  She will be missed dearly but before she left we made sure to throw her a fun party!  We made her a book we created ourselves and had lots of freezies on such a hot day! Figet spinners have been the talk of the town!  A lot of children were creating their own out of different materials they found around the Centre.  It sure did keep them busy. We spent a lot of our time in the outdoors, going for walks to Ashland Park, going to the Rec Centre to play games and going for adventures around the town.  The school agers definitely enjoy the outdoors! We celebrated Canada day in our Centre on the same day as the first day of summer break - it made for quite the celebration!  W...

June was a BUSY month here at the centre.  We had lots going on, and there are still some exciting things to look forward to.  Take a look at the month in review: Fundraising: We had our 2nd quarter fundraiser (To-Le-Do Foodservice and Kernels Popcorn).  Both were a huge success!  Thank you for all of your Fundraising efforts!  We would also like to congratulate Candace B. and her family for selling the most product.  Candace won 2 Children's Cineplex passes for being our top seller.  We hosted our first Paint Nite on June 2nd.  The day was sweltering hot, but the evening was calm, cool, and enjoyable for all.  Those who attended had a wonderful time.  Thank you to the following individuals/businesses for your Silent Auction prize donations: Scott Anderson of Ideal Mortgage Solutions (Thermea Gift Certificate): Email: scott@idealmtg.ca Lori Anderson (Body Sugaring Services) Lisa Lewko of Kick Start Health (Personal Training) Email: lisag...

Here comes the sun!  Lots of changes have been happening at the centre, but we look forward to new opportunities and adventures as summer sets in. We celebrated with Kaylene and Kyla and reminisced on some fun memories we made together at the centre before they moved on to their new adventures.  We will miss them! The Older Floor preschool group has taken advantage of the beautiful weather by playing and eating outside as often as we can.  The children in this group are very creative, and they have enjoyed a lot of dramatic/imaginary play.  The room has been filled with pretend pirates, tourists, pilots, restaurant guests/staff, and many other interesting characters.  It is so wonderful to see where their imaginations can take them. The Younger Floor preschool group has been focusing a lot on nature this month. They planted some "magic" beans and they have done many animal and nature-based art work.  They have also been going on lots of walks with...

What an exciting month we had in June!  Roberta's dog had a litter of puppies, and last month they were finally ready to come for a visit.  The children loved giving them hugs and kisses and watching them play and run around.  They were fascinated by how soft their fur was.  Some were very sad to see the puppies go, but we are so happy that we got the opportunity to meet them.  Thanks Roberta! We had some beautiful weather last month and we spent a lot of time outside in the play yard.  We had many picnics outside and we enjoyed the warm sun on our faces.  We also did a lot of exploration of the nature all around us.  We picked dandelions and smelled them, we found rocks and named the colours we saw on the rocks, and we gathered sticks and practiced counting 1-10. We used our gross motor skills and practiced running and climbing everywhere.  We really like climbing over the ladybug hill in our play space and jumping off of it!  We can't ...
