Playground Play

Hey everyone,

We've been so lucky to have such amazing weather the past few days, the kids have taken full advantage and have been eager to get out in the sun. In the theme of getting out side and getting healthy the kids enjoyed a delicious "banana bread" snack or so they thought, they later discovered that there was a secret ingredient, cauliflower! Fueled up with healthy goodness we enjoyed a few hours at the park where the kids got physically active and were able to unleash their imaginations. We had some great swing contests to see who get as high as the trees, a rock burying game where the kids morphed into rock people and tried to cover themselves with stones, and a game of "King of the forest" where some of the kids collected branches and whoever found the longest stick was king! It's always so inspiring to see the kids being creative and showcasing their individuality, they're not afraid to be themselves, they are strong and confident. This inspiration is what makes being a leader so rewarding, encouraging and validating their individuality is my favorite aspect of being in child care. We're hopeful for more great weather next week so we can keep the kids moving outside and having healthy happy fun! 

Hope you all have a beautiful day

Patio Fun

Hey Junior OSC families,

The weather this past week has been fantastic, so we have been taking advantage of the warm and sunny conditions by participating in activities outside on our patio! Having fun on the patio isn't just for adults, as our kids have been just itching to get outside and take in the sunshine. One activity in particular that was extremely successful was yoga. Every once in a while we have yoga as an activity for the kids, so they can focus on flexibility, mobility, breathing, and relaxation. We usually do this indoors, but we couldn't resist doing some yoga under the sun on the patio! It was a big hit with the kids, and we will definitely be doing it again in the future. 

Another activity that the kids love to do is hair chalk. Hair chalk is basically chalk, but it is safe to put in anybody's hair as a temporary, colourful accessory. We sat out on the patio while the kids lined up to get some cool designs in their hair. We saw rainbows as well as abstract designs in the kids' hair, and the experience was definitely enhanced by the good vibes of being out in the sun!

Until next time,

Ryan M

Another Spring Break Completed!

Hi Everyone,

 

Hope everyone has enjoyed their spring break as the kids were busy at Junior OSC learning cool new things. We had some fun new friends join us for spring break and plenty of new and innovative ways of having fun to entertain everyone of all ages for the long days.

 

I'm sure some of you noticed during pick up on Monday that the kids were no longer ordinary human beings, they were jedis!  As we started the week in a galaxy far far away becoming jedis in training, creating light sabers and using "the force" to have a wonderful and exciting day before returning back to earth in time for dinner at home. On Tuesday we took our learning and exploring to the next level by going to a another new world... Science World! The kids were able to explore and test their knowledge about what's really inside them, like their bones and muscles by exploring the "Animals Inside Out" exhibit. We continued the week becoming master builders on Wednesday and used our creative skills, imagination and team work to build masterpieces like towers and cities. Finally we ended off our week having fun in the sun at South Arm park since we have been having beautiful sunny days lately and it was the perfect way to kick off the Easter long weekend.

 

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and enjoy some pictures from our Science World adventure!
