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):

Lori Anderson (Body Sugaring Services)
Lisa Lewko of Kick Start Health (Personal Training)

Candace Boyd of ItWorks Canada (ItWorks Products)
Jody Watson of Fort Whyte Alive (1 Year Membership)
And all of our families for their Bath and Body works donations.
AGM:
We had a wonderful turnout at our AGM. With the BBQ, Open House, and Bouncer, the evening was filled with fun (and of course, a little bit of Daycare Business). It was great to see our families out to support the centre, learn how we run as a not-for-profit, and understand the role of our Board of Directors. We would like to welcome Justin H., Lesley H., Kristel K-S., and Candace H. to our Board. We are looking forward to working with them in the years to come.
Leasehold Improvements:
We are currently undergoing some renovations to the inside of our centre. Last week we had the whole place painted (check out our facebook page for pictures). Things are looking great. The next step will be the window treatments, followed by the installation of new lockers and some new furniture. We will be taking lots of photos of the transformation. We can't wait to see it all finished!
We will be doing a complete green space overhaul this summer as well. We have created a plan with the staff and Green Space Committee, worked with Kyle Taylor of Lawson Surveying and Consulting, got the stamp of approval from an Engineer, and we are now confirming the company that will be doing the work. Once this has been confirmed, a start date for the work will be set and a plan for outdoor play will be sent to all families. Stay tuned for more details!
Staffing:
We said good-bye to Kaylene, Kyla, and Connie in July and Kristen will be leaving this month. Amy's last day will be July 28th before she goes on Maternity Leave. We will miss her dearly, but we are excited to watch her become a parent for the first time. Jill is our new Summer Student in the School Age Room and Brooke is back from her tree-planting adventure to cover summer holidays in every program.
We are currently accepting resumes for ECE IIs (one permanent full time position in the Older Floor Preschool Program and one Maternity Leave position in the Younger Floor Preschool Program).
