Smiles For Miles

Last week as we were applying our sunscreen, one of the children was expressing feelings about how aweful it was putting it on, especially around the face. It opened up conversations about what damages the sun can do to our skin and our health.
My best friend since we were 5 years old passed away from skin cancer caused by the sun. I openly spoke about what happened and the group asked some difficult questions which I answered (as simply as possible). After the conversation, there were no more fusses about applying sunscreen. ❤️
Yesterday marked 6 years of my friends death and I received a message that my classroom caterpillars have arrived. My friend is resting in peace and also watching over my little friends. 🦋😇

I lead the full and part-time preschool program and also prepare and cook nutritious snacks and meals for the children.

Spring weather has led us into starting some sunflower seeds in our classroom!

We are excited to introduce spring inside our classroom today! At Smiles For Miles, we introduce goals and faucets from the NB Curriculum framework by encouraging flexible and fluid thinking by using imagination and creativity. We also value our relationships and friendships.

Local families, please come join us Saturday, April 7th from 2pm - 5pm for a tour of our new facility! Refreshments and snacks will be provided. We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to our team as well as our children's indoor and outdoor environment!
See you soon!
