My Dayhome:
My dayhome is a well balanced mix of structured and non structured activities throughout the day. I believe that children need structure in their day and for that reason we do have have set "eating and resting" times. We do have a basic daily schedule that we do follow throughout the day. The activities that we do daily focus on both gross and fine motor skills with the empathsis being on having fun!! We learn through play!!!
Some examples of our daily activities include : outside time, child directed play, dress up, painting, coloring, crafts, story time, puzzles, music, dancing, block play, lacing cards.
My Dayhome provides care for children ages 10 months to age 4, I do not provide care for school age children.
Fun Time:
We take many fieldtrips: Including but not limited to: local parks, the parks in neighbouring communities, beach club gym, splash parks, the community lake, playgroups, tumble time and larger "special" field trips include: The Zoo, Heritage Park, The Science Centre. Treehouse indoor playground or the Parentlink centre. We have even gone to Chuck E Cheese, Shakers, and day camping trips west of the city!!
We also get together with other dayhomes so the children have a chance to socialize with others and in a larger group setting.
