🌸 Invitations for Play 🌸

This week at Jr’s Daycare, the children explored a variety of engaging invitations for play designed to spark creativity, literacy, imagination, and social connection!

🔤 **Letter Matching with Magnet Tiles**
Children practiced recognizing and matching letters using colorful magnet tiles. This hands-on activity encouraged early literacy skills, problem-solving, and fine motor development while making learning fun and interactive.

🌼 **Flower Shop Dramatic Play**
Our flower shop was busy with budding florists arranging bouquets, “selling” flowers, and caring for their little shop. Through imaginative play, children explored communication, cooperation, counting, and creativity.

🫖 **Tea Party Fun**
Friends gathered together for a delightful tea party filled with conversation, sharing, and pretend play. The children practiced social skills, turn-taking, and kindness while enjoying a cozy and imaginative experience together. Lots of thoughts went into adding foods and "drinks" to the table as friends joined in and some left for other activities!

These invitations encouraged curiosity, exploration, and meaningful connections through play-based learning. 💛

Happy ECE Day to all of our amazingly wonderful ECEs at Jr’s Daycare! 💜
You are true superstars, helping shape little minds every single day with your patience, kindness, creativity, and love. We are so thankful for everything you do for our children and families each day. ✨

To show our appreciation, we surprised our staff with custom sweaters made by My Cheeky Darling Shop. Thank you for helping us make our staff’s day just a little brighter! 🐧🦩

It’s been a little while… so get ready for LOTS of photos 📸💕

We have been busy having so much fun at daycare lately! From exploring our new outdoor space 🌿 (which the kids are absolutely LOVING!) to getting messy with sensory bins and creative play, our days have been full of smiles and laughter.

We’ve been busy crafting 🎨, building 🧱, and most importantly… making memories with our friends 💛

We love watching their imaginations grow and seeing the joy in all the little moments 🐧🦩

Bubbles, laughter, and lots of curiosity! 🫧

The children had so much fun playing with soap bubbles—watching them float, chasing them, and popping them. This simple activity encourages movement, curiosity, and exploration, supporting children as strong, capable, and curious learners, just as described in FLIGHT: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework.

Play like this helps develop motor skills, creativity, and wonder while the children learn through joyful experiences together.

Please note that we will be closed on March 20th for a Professional Development (PD) Day. Our educators will be participating in training focused on intentional play and responsive environments to further strengthen our practices and better support your children’s learning and development.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue investing in our team to provide the best care and learning experiences for the children.

Thank you,
Jr’s Daycare

Last week at daycare was full of fun and learning! 💛

We explored fine motor activities, enjoyed reading time, played games, and had plenty of dance parties! The children loved crawling through the forts we built, building confidence and coordination — and pony riding was definitely a highlight!

Our menu kept little tummies happy too: colourful pancakes with ham and oranges (a big hit!), homemade soup, and lasagna with garlic bread.

All of these experiences connect to Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework, as we continue creating strong, capable, and curious children through play, exploration, and meaningful connections every day. 💫

This week’s cold snap and blizzard didn’t slow us down at Jr’s Daycare! ❄️

The children loved exploring snow-filled sensory bins and engaging in safe, supervised risky play to build their fine and gross motor skills. We also enjoyed plenty of crafts, art projects, and even a little entertainment watching vehicles get stuck (and unstuck!) outside.

We’re also happy to now offer a cozy parent area where families can sit, read, or enjoy a snack together before or after their busy day. 💛

Congratulations to five of our amazing staff members on completing a 6-week course, Possibilities for Practice, through Alberta Resource Centre for Quality Enhancement (ARCQE)! 🎉

This professional development opportunity has helped strengthen our knowledge and deepen our understanding of the Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework. We are so proud of their commitment to continuous learning and to providing the highest quality care and education for the children and families in our program.

Way to go, ladies! Your dedication truly makes a difference every single day. 💛

This past weekend, our owners had the privilege of attending this year’s ARCQE Showcase of Learning. With the support of our Pedagogical Partner, we gained valuable insights, connected with many inspiring professionals, and discovered excellent resources to further support our educators, children, and families within our program. We are grateful for the opportunity and already looking forward to next year’s event.🐤🐤

Thank you
