Please read carefully as we have a lot of upcoming events to share! We are excited to be in new units of study right now--including Pets, Roads, and Insects! We look forward to spending more time outside as the weather, hopefully, continues to get warmer.
Some big news speaking of outside--we have a NEW playground renovation project starting in April! This has been a long time conversation with collaboration between the church and ECEC as the playground needed updates in order to continue passing inspections. The church partnered with ECEC to support the funding of this great project! ECEC had funds saved that were ear marked for this, but as you can imagine it's even more important that we ensure our budget remains in positive standing each year.
The project is projected to begin April 8th and estimated to be completed in two weeks. During this time, we will play upstairs or in other outside areas. Also on April 8th, we will not go outside due to the Solar Eclipse.
I worked with the playground company on designs and structures that met the needs of early childhood development and offered many different avenues for play--not just gross motor play. There are areas for dramatic play, music, balance, climbing, and sliding. A really important area needed for kids is play that fosters their proprioceptive and vestibular development! More on that below :) The playground has areas that will foster these. Check out the rendering below!
