Let it Snow
Let it Snow
Let it Snow
The holidays are now behind us and we now look forward to early morning
shoveling, wet mittens, hot chocolate and snow days. The unexpected
cancellation of school can cause many changes in schedules and routines not
only for parents but for Childcare Centres as well. Suddenly there’s more children
that need care, late staff due to road conditions, and a panicked frenzy about meals
and activities to keep all happily occupied for the day. Believe it or not, a hectic
snow day can be somewhat avoided! Here are some tips to help you
endure those unexpected bad weather days!
1. Expect the Unexpected~You know there will be at least a few snow days
during the winter months, so expect them and plan ahead. Having
experiences planned that involve minimal prep time can alleviate you
fear of having uninvolved children on your hands.
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:00am - 4:00pm
Extended evening and weekend hours
available by appointment.
2. Use the Weather for the teachable moment it is~snow storms offer a
wide range of scientific examination. Watch the clouds, study the
snowdrifts, enjoy the snow in a scientific way!
Follow Us Online:
3. Take the plunge~If the weather has calmed and if there is a safe spot
to do so...bundle up and get out there! Snowdrifts make great snow
forts, sculptures and hills for sliding! Become artists and paint the
snow with water and food coloring!

4. Bring the outside-IN~If it’s just too messy to bring the children out, bring
a few large containers of the white stuff inside! The children will enjoy
the activity and the novelty of snow inside!
