September Stories 

September brought in many changes to the centre.

​

We welcomed a few new friends and their families throughout the month.  Our program made many adjustments to help them to feel at home with us. 

​

In September, some of the children's' interests were observed by their teachers. As usual, our play-based curriculum provided many engaging, inspiring and creative activities based on these interests.

A variety of materials were used such as water, coloured water, bubble water, shaving cream, paints in different colours, bubble play and playdough play.
