Learning Together Childcare

Our preschool classroom has been filled with all things imagination! Through imaginative play children learn critical thinking skills, build expressive and receptive language, increase social skills, and learn how manage their emotions.

Learning through experiences is how learning happens, and over the last few weeks the children were able to do so by exploring through play, learning through discussions and stories and sharing family experiences.

As we learn about the many traditions and celebrations during this time of year, on Friday our preschool classroom made Latkes! As a tradition to celebrate Chanukah, Latkes were made by all our children. They had so much fun chopping the potatoes and combining all the ingredients to mix together, to then bake in our kitchen. The wonderful aroma filled our centre with delight as everyone enjoyed eating their homemade Latkes.

In the month of October the preschool children have been busy learning about fall and all the changes throughout this month. To begin the fun, we explored apples and all the different kinds grown locally, to exploring with leaves and changes that occur during this season. To get into spirits the children carved their Jack-o-lanterns and engaged in a fun Halloween dance, some trick or treating in the classroom and marched in our centres parade around the neighbourhood.
