At the present moment we are running two cohorts of 16 children; Two-Morning Programs. 1) Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am to 11:30 am Ages 2.5-4 years (Includes a healthy snack) $175/month. 2)Three

To register your child, please email ([email protected]) or phone the school (613-831-3318). The registrar will contact you to answer your questions, talk about the school and confirm whether there are spaces available. Registration packages can be found on the website (http://gccp.ca) and can either be printed at home or completed online and sent via email. For your child’s registration to be confirmed, registration packages must be complete and contain the following:
-all completed forms
-a cheque for the $50 registration fee
-10 post-dated cheques dated September 1st through June 1st (tuition)

If your child is placed on the waiting list, your registration fee will not be deposited until a space becomes available and your child’s enrollment is confirmed. All programs run from September to June. Children attending the preschool are automatically registered for the full year. If parents wish to withdraw their child from the preschool, 30 days written notice must be given to the school registrar. Written notice must be received by the first day of a month (e.g., October 1st) to be considered effective for the 1st day of the following month (e.g., November 1st). Mid-month withdrawals will not be accepted. If a child is withdrawn from the school after April 1st, no refunds will be given. Registration opens in late February/early March of each year for the following September. Returning students have a priority registration period in early February. Registration is on-going throughout the year as spots become available. Wait lists are maintained by the Registrar,

We extended the interest in tie dyeing by repurposing and refilling the sq**rt bottles with water colour paint. The children loved having full access to the bottles this time around! They squeezed them and mixed the colours using paper towel as the “canvas”.

While outside this morning, we noticed this beautiful moth. Unfortunately it was no longer alive, however, we used the opportunity to observe and examine it… likening it to the transformation our catterpillar will be making soon!

WOW! Both classes did a truly wonderful job while dyeing their shirts this week!
The children made creative decisions about colours and design, and even observed how the primary colours can overlap to make secondary colours. They exhibited great fine motor work even with the obstacle of the plastic gloves! 🙌
We can’t wait to see how they turn out! 💖

Our “painted lady” caterpillars arrived and we have created a space for them in the classroom. Some of the children observed that they are hairy and small and might be a family because one is much smaller than the others. They enjoyed seeing them crawl around inside the cup. 🙂

This week we have been “Making juice” at the water table, enjoying picnic days outside, threading dandelions and fine-tuning our skills at blowing enormous bubbles! The string wands are loads of fun to experiment with! 🫧

Throughout the morning, we made “wild violet lemonade!”
The children washed their hands and each had a turn to squeeze a lemon. It took a surprising amount of strength to extract the juice! They made predictions about what colour the wild Violets would turn the lemonade.
wishing everyone a beautiful long weekend!
