Themes

Moving into the winter months the classes will enjoy the Snow Angels, Icicles and Winter
Wonder theme!

Reminders

Please remember to dress your children for the weather and send outside clothing
including winter coats, snow pants, hat, mitts and boots depending on the weather
so the classes are able to head outside as much as they can!

Healthy Habits:

Many toddlers are watching more than
two hours of TV & videos/day!
Did you know too much screen time
places these at risk:
-Brain development
-Talking and vocabulary
-Attention and memory
-Coping behaviour

Tips to Help:
-Spend more time doing fun activities like
reading books, playing outside, crafts,
dancing and puzzles
-Set a good example. Children often copy
what we do. Try to spend more time
doing things you enjoy and you may be
less frustrated by interruptions.
What if….

I need to make dinner or get the laundry
done!? Plan simple, fun activities for your
child to help you to have fun by
themselves. They may like to do a simple
craft while you are cooking or play with a
bin of dress up clothes when you are
doing laundry.
