Older Floor - April Update

April truly did fly by, and what a month we had!  We have been enjoying more time outside as the weather has been warming up, which the children have been so excited about.

During the week of, "Taking Care of the Earth", the children went into the back yard and did a big clean up with the staff.  We cleaned up a lot of garbage that had blown in, we raked up some leaves, we opened up the sand box (the kids were thrilled about this!) and what a difference it made, the backyard looks awesome!

The children have really been enjoying the yoga that was recently introduced.  We found these awesome videos that walk us through each pose (great, for us who don't know how to do yoga!).  It is all geared towards children with a theme in mind.  The Butterfly group has been working really hard through the videos.  Below is the link if you'd like to try them out at home:

We also had the opportunity to head on a field trip to MTYP to see Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon.  Then children were so well behaved and seemed to really enjoy the shows.  The bus ride back was very quiet as most of the children fell asleep!

At the end of April, we had Sheryl from Playnote Studio come in to do a music class.  The children really enjoyed her!  She sang songs and had all the children up and moving around, they all said how much they fun they had.  We will have her come out again in June :)

We want to send out a HUGE thank you to all of the amazing families for brightening our day during ECE week.  All of the gifts and treats were much appreciated, so THANK YOU!

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 ...
