Activities

Infants

May is a special month in our infant room as we celebrate the love and connection between our little ones and their families, especially for Mother’s Day. We’ll be making simple, meaningful keepsakes for the important caregivers in each child’s life, while continuing our focus on sensory play, music, and gentle exploration. With warmer weather here, we’re also looking forward to getting outside more for stroller walks and fresh air, all while keeping a calm and comforting environment that supports each child’s routine.

Toddlers

In May, our toddlers move from observing the “thaw” to witnessing active growth. Our curriculum transitions from “winter survival” to nature explore and garden discovery. This month, we focus on things that grow and things that crawl. Toddlers mix water, soil, and fallen blossoms to practice pouring and measuring. With the warmer air, we increase our time spent developing coordination in the great outdoors. Chasing and popping bubbles promotes hand-eye coordination and constant movement in the fresh spring air. As we spend significantly more time outdoors, please update your child’s cubby with wide-brimmed hats which are best for protecting faces and necks, and sunscreen. While it’s sunny, mornings can still be breezy. A light, breathable long-sleeve shirt is great for both sun and bug protection.

Preschool

Jr. Preschool

For this month we are expecting to celebrate Mother’s Day and make gifts with the kids to show our appreciation for mothers. And the snow is finally starting to melt which means spring is starting and we get to watch the beautiful leaves get their colour back and watch all the flowers grow, and start making
crafts with the nature around us!

Sr. Preschool

This month, our preschool program will explore Mother’s Day and World Bee Day through hands-on activities like planting flowers and learning how to care for plants and our environment as well as our yearly surprises for the special woman in our children’s lives. Our preschoolers will continue to practice independence skills such as dressing, cleaning up, and following daily routines, helping build confidence for school readiness. Through group play and guided activities, we will also support emotional regulation by helping our preschool friends to identify their feelings, use simple calming strategies, and develop positive relationships with peers. We are looking forward to spending more time outdoors with the nicer weather so please send all weather appropriate clothing and footwear and also a change of clothing in case we get wet!

School Age

As we step into May, our school-age program is blooming with exciting activities that celebrate the beauty of spring! Children will enjoy more outdoor play, nature walks, and group games that encourage teamwork and physical activity. We’ll explore creative arts and crafts inspired by flowers, insects, and the changing season, along with fun science activities that spark curiosity about the world around us. This month also focuses on building friendships, independence, and confidence through collaborative projects and engaging learning experiences. We’re looking forward to a joyful, active, and enriching month ahead!
