Training Calenders are Here!!


The days of summer are soon coming to an end and so begins the preparation for fall and back to school. Our fall training calendar is in the mail and on it's way to the child care providers on our database as we speak!  You can also find a list of our training opportunities at childcareoptions.ca 

This will be last time the training calender will be mailed!  Child Care Options is going green and will be distributing future issues by email. Please make sure we have your current email address!

The Hungry Caterpillar

Inspired by Nature


Stop by Playing by the book and read "Trees, Leaves and Sandwich Boards".  Aside from the fab book review on "Mama Miti",  there is the most amazing idea for collecting items from a nature walk.  There are also great resources on music and activities around nature and trees.  Just looking at the beautiful photos is inspiring enough to race to the nearest park!  Looking for more inspiring nature ideas?   Try our Early Childhood Resource Library
