Preschool Room-August 2017

August was an exciting time for us in the Preschool program.  We had lots of special visitors come to teach us about animals, buildings, fire safety, and magic.  We would like to thank the following special guests for visiting us this summer:

-Petland
-Mr. Ken
-Spider Man (Heather's Pretty Parties)
-Prairie Exotics
-RM of Macdonald Fire Department
-Kurrent Motion Hula Hoop
-Bricks 4 Kidz
-Bouncers from Playworld Fun Rentals
-Fit Kids, Healthy Kids

Our renovations are finally getting close to being complete.  Older Floor got new locker cubbies and both side got new storage cupboards.  The layout, design, and simple style reflect the beauty of the children and their caregivers.  The children also loved watching the excavator work in our green space.  In about 7 more days, we will have a NEW green space to play in!  We can't wait!

Our new Kindergarten buddies moved up to School Age on September 5th, and we were able to make some changes to the children and their rooms.  The older preschoolers on Younger Floor were able to move up to the older floor, and the Younger Floor has been able to make room for our infants that are graduation to the Preschool program in the fall.

In September, we are excited to welcome Kerri, Brittany, Nicole, and Jordyn to our team of caregivers.  These new teachers bring lots of fresh ideas to our program.  We are thrilled to have them as a part of our team.

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 ...
