Activities
Infants
December is a magical month in our Infant Program! As we move into the Christmas season, our little learners will be exploring festive sounds, cozy textures, and joyful music. From jingling bells and soft winter fabrics to gentle Christmas songs and rhythmic play, infants will have plenty of sensory experiences to enjoy throughout the month. We will also continue to spend time outdoors, enjoying fresh air whenever weather permits. Please ensure your child arrives with proper winter clothing—warm hats, mittens, boots, snowsuits, and extra layers—so they can participate safely and comfortably in outdoor play. We’re excited for a month full of curiosity, warmth, and holiday wonder as we celebrate the season together!
Toddlers
Winter is officially here! December activities will focus on winter Sensory Bins, Holiday Crafts and Fine Motor Skills development transitioning most activities indoor or to cover outdoor spaces. We will bring some winter and holiday-themed decoration inside the room. Same like November we will continue to explore more music and dances. For colder weather and potential snow /rain, layering and water-proofing are essential to keep the toddlers warm and dry, so parents please ensure your child has appropriate clothing.
Preschool
Jr Preschool
For the month of December, the junior preschoolers are going to be doing a lot of activities to work on their sharing skills!! We will also start getting ready for Christmas, playing outside in the snow, sliding!! Lots of fun activities are planned for them throughout the month.
Sr Preschool
This past month our group enjoyed working together to build towers and ramps for our cars. We worked on labelling our feelings and how to ask for help when the feelings were too much for us to handle. We have seen such huge growth in our group. This month we are taking our SR PSA group on a journey around the world to learn about the different Christmas traditions countries partake in. We will have plenty of sensory activities involving winter and Christmas. We will also have a new loose parts/small world building area in our room to encourage the children to continue communicating and sharing! We are so proud of their skill building journey. As always, we do spend time outdoors everyday weather permitting so we are asking children are sent with boots, hats, mitts, snow pants, winter coats
and also a change of clothing. Thank you so much!
School Age
This month is going to be packed with fun Christmas activities! We will be having two spirit days on the 22nd and 23rd (more details to come)! We will have many different Christmas/ winter themed sensory, building and free play tuff trays! We will also be making some homemade decorations, and gifts! As long as weather cooperates, we will be spending time outside daily, playing in the snow, sliding and building snow sculptures! Please remember to bring appropriate outdoor clothing (hats, mitts, snow pants, etc).
