August 2018 Newsletter

 

August in the Playroom

A few things happening in the playroom:

We welcomed back our summer student, Maryam, from last year. We are fortunate to have her spend the summer again with us and the children. Her energy and enthusiasm for children and life is contagious.

Our fish tank is home to two new sucker fish. They are still quite small, but will help to keep our tank clean.

Our garden is in bloom and the children have been more than willing to help with the watering and weeding. While out in the side yard, the children have also been busy digging holes in their dirt garden, building sand castles and mountains, balancing on the climbing logs and riding on the push cars. While the warm weather is here, we try to spend some time outdoors, every day.

Music Circle

On Mondays at 11:30 a music therapist joins us and she leads parents and children in a ½ hour of singing and stories. Children learn songs, do a little dancing and make a lot of wonderful noise. August dates are the 13th, 20th and 27th.

Nobody’s Perfect September 19–October 17, 1:30-3:00

Nobody’s Perfect is a parenting support group for parents of pre-school aged children. Using a sharing circle format parents get together to talk about the stresses of parenting, children’s health, behavioural issues and how to encourage learning.

Please be aware there may be changes in the schedule or order of classes.

Child care is available on site. Please let us know at time of registration if you will need a spot for your child in the Playroom.  Please call 204-788-8055 or email parenting@wfpwpg.ca to register.
