We were excited to host our summer family BBQ! This year’s fundraising event is in support of Pancreatic Cancer Canada. We had a food truck come provide the delicious barbecued food. Fire It Up BBQ catering did an amazing job! The bake sale was also a great success. We had the generous support of our families and staff who supplied all the baked goodies. It is amazing what we can accomplish when we come together as a community. A great time was had by everyone!

Meal times not only encourage children’s social interactions, but also provide them the opportunity to gain and build their independence. As the children in our Under Two community eat lunch around our child-size tables, a teacher sits with the group to assist anyone needing assistance. Size and age appropriate furniture, dishes, and utensils are used to promote self-feeding, self-help, and confidence.

The children in Under 2 seem to light up when playdough is offered as one of our sensory and fine motor activities. Pulling, rolling, poking, and grasping a fist full of playdough all help to develop the child’s fine motor skills while developing their senses of sight, smell, and touch. We often add a variety of accessories such as cookie cutters, rolling pins, food colouring, extracts or sparkles for variety and an enhanced experience.
Please click “Playdough” for more details and the recipe for “the perfect playdough”!
