Activities
Infants
February is a month full of love, learning, and new milestones! This month, our focus will be on supporting the infants’ fine motor development as they prepare for their transition into the toddler program. We’ll be offering a variety of hands-on activities that encourage grasping, pinching, scooping, and early self-feeding skills to help them become more confident with utensils. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day and the month of love, we will also be introducing more small-group interactions and cooperative play. From shared sensory bins to simple partner activities, we’ll be encouraging gentle social connections, turn-taking, and exploring together. We’re excited to watch the children grow, build new skills, and strengthen bonds as they get ready for their next big step!
Toddlers
For the month of February, toddlers will be exploring more snow and we will be doing more outdoor activities like snow hill climbing, snowball making, sliding etc. We will bring valentines day themed decorations inside the room. Throughout the month toddlers will continue developing their fine motor skills like scribbling with crayons, stacking and basic self-dressing skills. As always please send the children with weather appropriate clothing and spare clothes.
Preschool
Jr Preschool
This month we noticed that a few kids have been really interested in animals, with all this snow it’s a wonderful time to learn about the different types of winter animals! As we add new toys to incorporate this idea we will continue to teach and model how to share toys with one another. Happy new year to you all.
Sr Preschool
This February our group will enjoy hands-on crafts and activities that celebrate kindness, friendship, and creativity. Through art projects and daily interactions, we will explore caring behaviours, sharing, and using kind words with friends. The children will also have access to a variety of building materials, such as blocks and loose parts, encouraging imagination, problem-solving, and cooperative play. We will spend as much time outdoors as the weather allows, so please send all outdoor clothing and an extra set of clothes.
School Age
This month the school age group will be focusing on friendship and kindness! I have noticed that some children in the group struggle to be kind to one another. One activity I have planned is a kindness box, where whenever an adult sees one of the school age children being kind their name will be put into the box to win something. We will also be celebrating Valentine’s Day with some festive tuff trays and art activities! I would also like to do some group games and activities to work on teamwork and friendship, one activity I have planned is the human knot game. As always, please remember to bring hats, mitts, and snow pants because we will be outside daily if weather permits!
