Toilet training boys and sleeping in a bed, these are 2 of the biggest topics being discussed and researched at the moment in my house and at daycare.
Our Daycare Angel
Sadly 3 years ago a beautiful little girl from one of the Acacia Hill centres passed away from childhood cancer, our Daycare Angel. Imogen fought a tough battle and was given her Angel wings on 1st May 2010. Since Imogen’s passing her mum has worked tirelessly to give back to those who helped them. Fiona (Imogen’s mum) would like your help by purchasing one of her ‘ladybirds’ for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.
Toys for Daycare, Outdoor Play
Looking for some outdoor play toys for daycare, or home? Do you often wonder what new shiny toys you can buy for the children at home or childcare?
There is no need to spend big dollars on plastic fantastic or even purpose made children’s toys that get used a few times and then forgotten about. Why not pull out those left over pavers you have hiding down the side of the shed and let the children explore with them along side the leaves and trees.
The children at Ballajura childcare Centre had some great fun with some old pavers and here is what will they learn from this……..
- mathematics skills – counting, shape recognition, weight, pattern, problem solving
- social skills – working as a team
- language skills – communicating ideas
- science skills – material matter
- creative skills – texture…………………. and many, many more
Next time you are looking at what you can get for the children to play with, look no further than your garden.
Happy recycling and learning.
