Tadpole Ranch Daycare

🚔 A Very Special Visitor at Tadpole Ranch!
We had a pretty exciting visitor stop by Tadpole Ranch yesterday!

A huge thank you to Constable Warren for taking the time to come visit us and give the kids a fun, hands-on look at what it’s like to be a police officer.

The kids got to ask questions, check out some of his gear, try on the police vest, get “handcuffed” 😆 and, of course, climb inside the police car — which was definitely a favourite!

Visits like this are such a great opportunity for our kids to learn about the people who help keep our community safe, while getting to see that police officers are friendly, approachable people they can turn to when they need help.

It was also extra special for us because Constable Warren is a former Tadpole parent, so we loved getting to welcome him back in a whole different way!

Thank you, Constable Warren, for making their day and giving our Tadpoles an experience they’ll be talking about for a while! 🚓💙

🏕️ Camping Week at Tadpole Ranch! 🔥

We’ve brought the great outdoors inside as we explore all things CAMPING! 🌲

Our little campers have been busy setting up camp, gathering around the “fire,” having pretend camp meals, cozying up in the tent, and using their imaginations to create their own camping adventures.

There’s something pretty magical about giving kids a few simple props and watching where their play takes them. ❤️

Next up: more camping adventures, outdoor exploration, campfire fun and maybe even a few s’mores! 🏕️🔥🌲

Happy camping, Tadpoles! 🐸

🚒 Field Trip Fun! 🚒

Today our Tadpole Ranch crew had an amazing visit to Prince George Firehall No. 4!

We had so much fun touring the fire hall, exploring the fire trucks, learning about firefighters and their equipment, and asking lots of great questions. The jaws of life was a serious hit!!

A huge thank you to the incredibly funny and informative firefighters for taking the time to teach our little learners and make it such a memorable and fun experience.

We appreciate everything you do to keep our community safe! 🚒👨‍🚒🧯

We had two incredible and informative Indigenous Days at Tadpole, led by the wonderful Miss Andrea!

Our little learners had the opportunity to explore and celebrate Indigenous culture through hands-on activities including drum making, beading, building teepees, creating dream catchers, and participating in a beautiful smudge circle. The children were completely captivated and so engaged in every experience.

A huge thank you to Miss Andrea for sharing her knowledge, traditions, and passion with our Tadpole families. These meaningful experiences help foster curiosity, respect, and appreciation for the rich cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples. 💛🪶

Thank you Prince George Public Library for welcoming us so generously! Our kiddos had so much fun listening to the story time, getting their own library cards, and picking out books! We will definitely be back! 📚📖

Peeps are peeping! And my heart is full ❤️🐥

A few more days with these chicks and they will be going back to their farm.

☑️ Climb the hill
☑️ Roll down the hill
☑️ Find the biggest stick possible
☑️ Become one with the mud
☑️ Laugh until your rain suit fogs up

10/10 day with these Tadpoles! ☔️

Who knew a stick from the forest could turn into something this magical? ✨🌲☀️

Last week the kiddos created their own sun catchers using wood we found on our outdoor adventures, colourful beads, and BIG imagination. The focus, patience, and pride in their creations was the best part 💛

Wait until the sunshine catches them at home! 🌈

Today’s outdoor invitation to play:

✨Potion Station✨

Safe to say the kids completely lost their minds over this one! Hours of non-stop creativity and squeals of joy!
