Keepsake Time Capsule Ornament

 


This year we decided to make adorable time capsule ornaments and they are probably the easiest ornaments I have ever made with my daycare group! 

All you need is:


Simply take each child and measure their height using the ribbon. 


Cut the photos to fit into the ball. 


Let the kids add their own sparkles and snowflakes into the ball. 

Slide the ribbon and photo into the ball after writing “This ribbon is as tall as I am” with the date and child’s name. 


That’s it. Simple craft for those who prefer not to get messy and it is absolutely adorable! Parents and families will love these as gifts as well.

Tricks To Finding A Daycare Space

I get calls everyday for people looking for a daycare spot and it is exhausting to turn people away everyday. So what is the trick to getting into a daycare if there is a shortage of childcare workers in your area? If you are trying to find childcare in the Okanagan it can be an overwhelming task. We have a huge shortage of childcare workers and our city is growing at a rapid rate. So how do you  find a great daycare space  for your family and what should you look for?  When searching for a daycare you want to ensure it’s the right fit for you and your family because this person is essentially helping to raise your child.

Are you looking for

A new  study  in the journal JAMA Pediatrics found a direct association between screen time at ages 2 and 3 and development at 3 and 5. In fact, another recent  study  found that only 5% of U.S. children meet the recommended daily guidelines for sleep, exercise, and screen time use. How can we fix the problem? Vinay Saranga M.D. is a child psychiatrist and founder of  Saranga Comprehensive Psychiatry .  His advice for parents: -          Exercise daily : Children should have at least one hour of moderate exercise per day. Lack of physical activity in children is just one of the reasons obesity is an epidemic in America. Make exercise a family event by going on a walk or playing outdoors.
