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.

HOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES WITHOUT SCARING THE BLEEP OUT OF THEM

Discussing possible emergency scenarios with one’s children is never a pleasant topic. Parents do not want to frighten them or create new anxieties . Dr. Sanam Hafeez is a New York City based Neuro-psychologist and School Psychologist who has an approach to emergency preparedness that won’t freak your children out. Tell children an emergency is something unusual that happens which could hurt people, or cause damage to things like houses and cars.  Explain to them that nature sometimes provides ‘too much of something’ like, rain, wind or snow. Talk about effects of an emergency that children can relate to, such as loss of electricity, water, and telephone service; flooded roads and uprooted trees.  Explain that everyone is better able to take care of themselves in emergencies when they know what to do.

Tricks To Finding A Daycare Space

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. Take your time while looking even if you are in a hurry because not everyone has the same methods, beliefs or attitudes towards how a child should be raised. What works for them may clash with what you want for your child. Plus you want your child to have fun at daycare while learning about life so look for the best fit for that important factor. Are you looking for
