Littles - October Blog

We had such a fun and busy October!  The Littles were in charge of making snack for everyone at the Centre earlier in the month.  We decided to make Apple Crisp and each child had the opportunity to help by using a plastic butter nap and chop the apples slices into chunks.  They all enjoyed this a did a great job helping out!   After seeing them use the knives to well, we decided to further this experience and allow them to cut play dough with them too!

Skye (from Paw Patrol) came to visit. She read some stories to the children, she taught them some dances with movements to follow along, and then afterwards we had a disco light dance party! Most of the children were really into it, while some others were content with just standing back and watching.

We ended the last week of October with lots of spooky activities and dress up days.  We had a huge Halloween party with all of preschool.  We had stations set up around that included:
- Pin the spider on the web
- Mystery Box (two different boxes/ stations)
- Witch hat toss
- Sticker table
- Pumpkin spiced play dough table
- Memory game
 Afterwards, we began our costume parade around the centre starting with the infants and ending with the school agers! Shortly after the parade, the children had lunch and then free play/ marble painting! We had a nap and got right back into the Halloween festivities! We had so many wonderful and healthy treats that were brought in for afternoon snack that was divided up and devoured by the children! J

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 ...
