Activities

Infants

This month in our infant room, we’re excited to welcome the start of spring and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. As the weather begins to warm up, we look forward to spending more time outdoors enjoying fresh air, stroller walks, and exploring the natural changes around us. Inside the classroom, we’ll be incorporating festive green-themed sensory activities that encourage exploration and discovery. As some of the children will be moving up soon, we’ll also be focusing on preparing them for their transition into the toddler room by encouraging greater independence with self-feeding, drinking from cups, helping with clean-up, and following simple daily routines. We’re excited for a month filled with growth, exploration, and new learning opportunities!

Toddlers

In March our toddlers will become “Weather Detectives”. We will spend the month exploring the change from crunchy white snow to slushy brown snow to the soft green grass. We will focus more on self-help skills: we will turn getting dressed into a learning game by “Zipping and Clipping”. We will do a St. Patrick’s Day craft by hosting a green day with natural green colours and cornstarch. To ensure everyone stays cozy during our outdoor playtime (weather permitting) we ask parents to ensure your toddlers cubby is stocked with weather appropriate clothing and spare clothes.

Preschool

This month, our preschoolers will be busy learning through play, creativity, and laughter! We’ll be practicing scissor skills as we snip, cut, and create with paper, helping little hands grow strong and ready for school. Cutting lines, shapes, and fun pictures supports hand-eye coordination and builds confidence for future writing skills. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll explore all things green with shamrock crafts, rainbow art, and festive creations that encourage imagination and fine motor development. We’ll also take time to celebrate National Happiness Day by talking about feelings, sharing smiles, and discovering what makes us happy. Our days will be filled with creativity, cooperation, and lots of joyful learning as we grow together! We will be spending lots of time outdoors so please send all necessary outdoor clothing. Thank you!

School Age

For the month of March, our school-age children will be exploring the theme of “Spring into Learning!” As the seasons begin to change, we’ll focus on fun, hands-on activities that encourage creativity, teamwork, and curiosity. Children will participate in spring-themed arts and crafts, simple science experiments about weather and plant growth, and outdoor play to enjoy the fresh air. March will be full of engaging experiences that keep learning exciting and meaningful for all our school-
age kids.
