WHAT’ NEW?

There has been plenty happening here at SCCC.  The Best Start Room and School Age program will be moving to the Seaforth Public School on

October 5, 2009.  Parents of these two groups will be receiving a letter from their teachers in regards to how this is going to look.  Thank you for being patient, while we work out the small details. Rest assure that your child will still be receiving the same quality of care you have come to expect from the childcare staff.  Please feel free to ask the staff or the office if you have any questions.

A picture is worth a thousand words…..

We will once again be having children’s individual and class photos takes.  Darlene of Jakal Photography will be here on in the mornings of Wednesday and Thursday October 21 and October 22 to take the children’s pictures.  If this is not your child’s regular day, please feel free to let us know if you would like a photo, and we can arrange a suitable time.  More details will follow.  Be sure to check your mailbox.       

THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS

Thanks again to those families who have given their time, talents and treasures to make the centre a better place to be.  

ü      Please continue to send appropriate shoes and clothing.  Fall weather can be very unpredictable, and we do play outside each morning and afternoon. 

ü      Be sure to inform staff if someone other than the parents is picking up your child.  They will be required to show appropriate ID if unknown to the staff.

ü      Be sure to inform the office if there has been in changes to your address, phone number or place of employment.

ü      Please bring in an updated photo of your family for our family tree.  This is a great way for the children to stay connected with their families through out the day. 

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Little Caesars Pizza fundraiser.  We were able to raise $565.00 for the childcare centre.  Our top sellers were Niki Wood, Joanna Datema and Jennifer Rooney.  Congrats to all on another successful fundraiser.

We are gearing up for our winter/holiday fundraiser with Lamontagne.  Please take a look at the catalogue, and don’t forget to share with family and friends.  

Orders are due October 23, for holiday arrival.

TODDLER TIDBITS

 For the month of October, we will be learning all about fall.  We will explore leaves, gourds and pumpkins.  We will be making pumpkin pie, and  pumpkin dump cake.  Please feel free to bring in a can of pumpkin pie filling or evaporated milk or anything else that we can make out of pumpkin.  The weather is now getting cooler and wet.  Please send your child with rubber boots and splash pants.  The toddlers would like to welcome Jake, Ryker, Owen, Connor and their families to the toddler room. We say goodbye to Alyssa, Samantha and Jenna who are now big preschoolers.  Patricia and Jodi


PRESCHOOL POINTS

Our focus this month includes fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween.  This month we have many fun filled activities.  We will carve for Halloween, cook and plant some pumpkins seeds.    We will also have a nature walk, a chicken run just to name a few.  Please check your calendars.  There will also be a Halloween party on October 30, wear your coolest costume.  Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Halloween.  Sherry and Connie


Dublin Best Start

We are “thankful this month for another great year at Best Start in Dublin.  Our after school program continues to grow.  We would like to see a few more full day children.  Parents consider 1 or 2 days a week to grow your child’s social, emotional, and educational skills.  We’ll be “giving thanks”, getting pumpkins, growing things as we learn the letters “g, h, I” and the colour green and all it’s shades.  Hope to see you soon. Gail  



SCHOOL AGE SCOOP - S.C.C.C.

WOW! We are so excited to move over to the Seaforth Public School.  During October we will work on establishing our new routine.  We will do lots of fun activities focusing on fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween.  We are always looking for donations of markers, collage materials and other craft supplies.  We are looking forward to a “SPOOKY” October. Megan B, Dana, Megan D and Janita                                                                                



BEST START BITS @ SCCC

OCTOBER! Our new location!  We will try our best to make this transition as smooth as possible for all families.  October has so much to offer. Harvest time, leaves, Thanksgiving, Halloween.  We will be doing lots of baking this month.  If any of our families can donate some apples, pumpkins or gourds that would be great.  We will also be sending home Blue Bear on weekends with every student.  There is a book for you and your child to draw/write about your adventure on the weekend.  Let’s enjoy this fall weather.  Paula and Megan



BEST START BUSINESS –ST. JAMES

WOW! Where did September go?  We have had a great time with our friends.  Our concept for October is fall and Halloween.  We will be creating a Market Garden for dramatic play.  Learning everything there is to know about Pumpkins.  We will continue working on our Jolly Phonics and math goals.  I am asking parents to please send in a bar of soap for the week of October 19th.  We will be conducting a really cool science experiment.  I would also like to wish families a

Happy Thanksgiving.  Sandra




           SCHOOL AGE SCOOP – ST. JAMES

     Going into the second month of school already? WOW!  I have a great group of kids and I’m having lots of fun so far this year.  October, like September will see us doing a lot of fun activities, touching more on Halloween and fall.  We will be learning about primary, secondary and tertiary colour, and relating them to colours we see in nature.  I am giving the group a month long challenge with a reward of a Halloween party at the end.  Let’s see if they can meet the challenge.  I know they will.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  Sarah
