We have had the best couple of months at Theircare. The holiday program was filled with so much fun and joy. The last three weeks of term time have been just as fun. The children have settled in amazingly, decorating our space with All About Me's and creating a beautiful disco team mural. After our back-to-school disco was such a hit the children decided they wanted to keep the fun going by having our classroom theme be DISCO we have slowly been decorating the room to fit. The overarching goal for this term is friendship and connection, we have a uniquely epic program that allows children from all grades to come together as one, and it is something I would love to grow into an even more beautiful community.

Week 4 - Around the world (suggested by Kai)
Week 5 - Pet and Animal Week
Week 6 - Autumn
What an incredible way to kick off the summer season with our holiday program theme, "Level Up"! Our action-packed "gaming" adventure brought excitement and creativity to all, blending the world of arcade gaming with old-school fun like bowling, mini golf, and More play centres that I could count. The kids had a blast participating in family game shows, movie marathons, and epic excursions, including visits to gaming arcades, laser tag arenas, trampolines, and mini golf. Special guests, such as the fire-fighter-for-a-day and Minute to Win It challenges, added an extra layer of fun! From crafting Inside Out octopuses to engaging in brainiac showdowns, everyone was kept entertained. The "Sizzling Summer Scientists" program offered cool science-based activities to keep us refreshed as the heat kicked in. A stand out was getting to meet some real-life butterflies. They were sooooo pretty.
It was truly a holiday program no one would want to miss!
