🔥🏕️ Campfire Fun at Daycare! 🏕️🔥

This month, our daycare has been full of outdoor adventure as we explored all things camping! The children have been learning about campfires, tents, and what it’s like to go on a camping trip.

Our little campers had so much fun playing in a cozy tent, gathering around a pretend campfire, and even hopping on our “bus” to head out on their camping adventures! 🚍🏕️ We also enjoyed sharing stories around the campfire, sparking imagination, creativity, and a love for storytelling.

Through this theme, the children built social skills, expanded their vocabulary, and engaged in lots of imaginative play. It’s been wonderful to watch their excitement and creativity grow each day!

✨ What a fun-filled month of learning and adventure! ✨

Our preschoolers have been busy little scientists this week as they explored the exciting world of magnets! 🧲

Using magnet wands and magnetic fishing rods, the children had so much fun testing what objects would stick and which ones wouldn’t. Through hands-on play, they discovered that magnets don’t attract everything—only certain materials like metal!

We also introduced the idea of magnets having different ends. The children were amazed to see that sometimes magnets pull together, and other times they push away! This sparked lots of curiosity as they experimented, turned their magnets around, and figured out which sides worked best.

There was so much learning happening through play—problem-solving, critical thinking, fine motor development, and wonderful conversations between peers. The children were engaged, excited, and proud of their discoveries!

It’s always amazing to watch their curiosity grow as they explore how the world works around them 💡

💦🦆 Toddler Water Play Fun! 🦆💦

Our toddlers had an amazing time splashing and exploring during water play with their little rubber ducky friends! From pouring and scooping to watching their ducks float, every moment was filled with laughter, curiosity, and hands-on learning.

Water play is more than just fun — it helps children develop important skills like hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, and early problem-solving. As they explore concepts like floating and sinking, they’re also building early science awareness in a playful, engaging way.

Most importantly, these experiences encourage creativity, confidence, and social interaction as the children play alongside their friends.

We love seeing their big smiles and hearing their giggles as they learn through play! 💙💦

👶💛 Growing Strong in Our Infant Room!

Our little learners have been hard at work building their gross motor skills as they explore standing and taking those exciting first steps! 🌟

Using our infant walkers, the babies are gaining confidence as they practice supporting their bodies, strengthening their legs, and learning how to move with purpose. It’s such a joy to watch their determination and excitement as they begin to discover what their bodies can do!

Each small step, wobble, and stand is a big milestone in their development. Through encouragement, safe support, and lots of smiles, we are helping our infants grow stronger every day. 💕

We love celebrating these special moments with them — the journey to walking is such an exciting one! 👣✨

✨ Sparking Imagination with Everyday Materials! ✨

Today at daycare, we turned something simple into something AMAZING!

Using a used cardboard box and a little creativity, the children worked together to create their very own soccer game ⚽️📦

From planning and building to decorating and testing it out, the kids were fully engaged every step of the way. The excitement didn’t stop once it was finished — they had an absolute blast playing against each other, cheering, laughing, and showing great teamwork!

Moments like these remind us that you don’t need fancy toys to create meaningful play… just a little imagination 💡💛

🐰👣 A Special Visit from the Easter Bunny! 👣🐰
The excitement was hopping through the halls today at Camrose Kids Daycare & OSC! When the children arrived, they discovered something magical… Easter Bunny footprints leading all the way down the hallway! 🐾✨

Little eyes lit up with wonder as they followed the trail, asking questions, sharing ideas, and imagining where the Easter Bunny had gone. “Did he hide eggs?” “Is he still here?” The curiosity and excitement were contagious!

The footprints led us straight into a fun-filled Easter egg hunt, where the children searched, discovered, and celebrated together. 🥚💛

Moments like these spark imagination, joy, and a little bit of Easter magic that the children will remember for a long time.

Happy Easter from all of us at Camrose Kids Daycare & OSC! 🌷🐣

Today in our toddler room, a simple idea turned into a beautiful journey of imagination 💭🚗

One of our little learners began her morning by carefully building a road for her cars. As I joined her play, we started wondering together… Where does this road lead? What’s waiting at the end?

With a big smile, she told me, “A castle!” 🏰

From there, her creativity took off. Using magnets and loose parts, we worked side by side to bring her idea to life—building a castle at the end of her road. Along the way, we talked, imagined, and explored her ideas, turning a small play moment into something magical.

Moments like these remind us how powerful play can be—sparking creativity, language, problem-solving, and connection all at once 💛
