Wonder Well Early Learning Day Home

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

One of our dayhome children surprised me this morning with a card that said “i love you”

It’s the simple, heartfelt moments like these that remind me how special this job truly is. Watching children learn, grow and build meaningful relationships is such a gift.

Thank you to all the amazing children and families who make our dayhome feel like a second family.

Exploring Creativity with Nature:

Children explored the beauty of chives flowers through art. We picked and brought some chives flower inside as inspiration and invited children to observe their shape, color and texture.

They painted green stems, tore purple tissue, crumpled and sticked the pieces to create their own flower.

It’s amazing to see how each of their artwork is a unique representation of how children see and interpret the world around them.

Tricky Weather Today!
The sunshine convinced us this morning that it was a perfect day for a neighbourhood walk so off we went but not long after, it started to rain. Luckily we were close to home and made a quick dash back before getting wet.

But again as soon as we got home, the rain stopped so we enjoyed some creative chalk art on the driveway.

Learning Physics through Windy Day Process Art

It was a very windy day outside today with wind reaching approximately 30 km/h so we decided to explore the concept of wind through process art.

At first, children used pipettes to drop paint onto their paper. Then they blew the paint across the paper to create beautiful windy patterns with a straw. Finally, they blew colorful tissue paper pieces and watched them move and stick in different direction onto each other’s papers.

Through this hands on experience, children explored early concepts of physics such as force and motion. They discovered that although we cannot see wind, we can feel it and even create it ourselves by blowing air. They also observed how wind can move objects in the direction it blows.
