Activities
Infants
January is a time of fresh beginnings in our infant program. As we welcome new faces and reconnect after the holiday season, we focus on helping infants feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their environment. Educators will support each child as they build trust, form connections, and settle back into daily routines at their own pace. Throughout the month, infants will continue developing their gross motor skills through age-appropriate activities such as tummy time, crawling, rolling, pulling up, and supported standing. Soft climbing equipment, floor play, and movement-based exploration will encourage strength, balance, and coordination in a safe and nurturing space. Educators will also incorporate music, simple movement games, and sensory experiences to promote body awareness and confidence. These activities support both physical development and social engagement as infants observe, interact with, and learn alongside one another.
Toddlers
In this new year, our little toddlers will explore joyful music and rhythmic play. Toddlers will have plenty of sensory activities throughout the month. During indoor time we will explore more colours and include more story time. We will also continue to spend time outdoor enjoying snow and fresh air. For cold weather/snow and rain, parents please ensure your child arrives with appropriate clothing.
Preschool
Jr Preschool
For the month of January, junior preschoolers will be participating in painting the snow outside, learning about the animals that live in the snow, and really focusing and learning all of our animals by name and picture!! We will be doing plenty of activities in the snow such as building a snowman, forts and others!!
January will be a fun month!!
Sr Preschool
During the month of January, the SR Preschool will be becoming Scientists! We will be exploring all things snow and cold. We will be doing lots of gross motor activities outside like climbing hills, and sliding. On the days that we are unable to get outside we will be creating obstacle courses inside. As always please send the children with weather appropriate clothing and spare clothes in case we get dirty and wet! Thank you.
School Age
This January, our classroom will be filled with fun, hands-on activities that celebrate winter and learning! We’ll start the month by setting personal and classroom New Year’s goals. To explore nature, we’ll celebrate National Bird Day by making bird feeders and learning about local birds, and later care for a new classroom plant to celebrate Houseplant Day. We’ll spread kindness on Thank-You Day by writing appreciation cards for important people in our lives. We will explore different materials to build penguin habitats for Penguin Awareness Day. We’ll finish the month with making our own chocolate cupcakes for Chocolate Cake Day! It’s a month full of learning, laughter, and creativity.
