What a gorgeous, sunny morning. The sun coming through my window is shining through the water in our Aquarium and making an amazing rainbow reflection on the wall where you can see the shadows of the fish swimming through it! Beautiful. It's not hard to find beauty around us at this time of year and it is a wonderful thing to share with children. I've been making lots of plans for the next few months and am really excited to share them with the kids this summer! We will have special days, field trips and guests come in to teach/show us new things.
This month our themes will be Father's Day, Oceans, Flight, World Environment Day(reducing food waste and composting), Summer(change of seasons)and Canada Day. We will also explore some Brain Games and Outdoor Games. We will continue to work on our Alphabet sounds, putting more focus on the letters that have two sounds and sounds formed by letter combinations. We are up to number 29 with our recognition and writing focus on numbers. We are working toward 50. Our French word recognition has expanded from numbers to days of the week to colours and now to animals, common phrases and pleasantries. We have recently started numbers in Spanish. Our learning really depends on the interests of the kids, so I always appreciate input from our families. Feel free to let me know if there is something that you would like me to include in the program. June 6 Yellow Day (a celebration of all things yellow!) Please wear or bring something yellow. :) P.J. Day will be Monday June 10Wear your p.js and bring a stuffie if you like. We will be curling up with our favorite stories, doing a special pj day craft and eating breakfast for lunch!Our First Day of Summer Backyard Picnic and water games will be Friday June 21.We will be serving hamburgers and ice cream this day. (vegetarian and dairy free options)Please bring a bathing suit, towel and water shoes. June 28: Our very own Backyard Canada Day Parade. Sounds like we will have lots to keep us busy this month!! We will be closed Monday July 1 for Canada Day.

I began this blog to help families to get to know me and have a place to share information.
About Me
- Judy
- I am a Licensed Early Childhood Educator and Professional Ballet Teacher. Over the past 20 years I have taught preschool,daycare, managed my own LNR Family Daycare, and worked in private homes as a Nanny. My newest adventure is opening a Licensed In-Home Multi-Age Childcare. I have now opened Judy's Little Gems. Having a Licensed Childcare Facility in my home is so rewarding. Each day is brand new and exciting for both myself and the children! The word Nanny is very special to me. My British grandmother asked her grandchildren to call her Nanny. I hope to build great memories and relationships with children and families in my role as Nanny; just as my grandmother did.
