Greetings!  

 

Ontario's Wiarton Willie has predicted an early spring.

What spring activities are your children looking forward to?

 

We are gearing up for our spring groups.  Our current children are working on their All About Me Badges, the Reporter Game, Getting To Know You Bingo and Friendship Collages.

 

These fun and cooperative activities will  help your child recognize and be aware of their behaviour in a fun-filled group environment.

SUMMER REVIEW CAMP FOR GRADUATES

 

We are offering summer programs for our graduates of the LET'S BE FRIENDS GROUP and COOL TOOLS.  Children will be able to practice the skills they learned in our group programs in a safe and supportive environment.  Theme based activities geared to friendship building, communication and social skill development will help your child to continue to enhance their skills.

 

SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS

 

COOL TOOLS

 

Weekly programs to help children develop positive social skills, build self esteem, and learn strategies to deal with their anger in appropriate and acceptable ways.  Children will develop new skills in a safe and supportive camp setting through activity based programs which include expressive art activities, cooperative games, out-door play and discussions. Children are grouped according to their grade and age.

 

LETS BE FRIENDS

 

Weekly programs that are play-based to teach social skills in a fun and stimulating environment.  Children will learn to share, listen, follow directions, take turns, enter play with peers and identify feelings of oneself and others. The facilitator is a registered Early Childhood Educator.
