That first trip to the dentist can feel like a big moment for both children and parents. It’s completely normal for little ones to feel unsure, and for families to wonder when the right time is.

Our latest blog shares practical tips to help your child feel more confident, along with advice on brushing, healthy snacks and how we support oral health through community dentist visits and educator guidance.

We’re here to help you every step of the way!

L is for Lemon! 🍋
Today we explored the letter L by tasting something exciting — lemon! The children used their senses to see, smell, touch, and taste the lemon. Their faces said it all — “It’s sour!” 😝
At Papilio Preschool Dundas Valley , we believe in children exploring the world around them and learning through hands-on experiences. Activities like these help children connect language, senses, and emotions in meaningful ways!

At Papilio Preschool Dundas, the safety and well-being of our children are our top priorities. We are committed to ensuring that our educators are well-prepared to handle emergencies through regular medical drills.

Today, our Safety Supervisor conducted an anaphylaxis response drill, focusing on the correct use of EpiPens. These practical sessions are part of our ongoing training program, aligning with national best practice guidelines to ensure our staff can respond swiftly and effectively in critical situations .

By conducting these regular drills, we aim to provide a safe and responsive environment for all children in our care.
