Childcare

Spring is well and truly with us; the blossoms are out, and the days are warming up.

We have been busy with a variety of activities in childcare, making our blossom tree, experimenting with colour, playing board games that require cooperation and concertation, great conversations are happening with our bugs in the pond, the threading activity is challenging children with their eye hand coordination and persistence and our ever consistent activities that provide familiarity painting, story corner, puzzle, blocks and construction and the babies mat.
