We recommend having a back pack
that is child size, so your child is
able to carry it independently. This
is especially helpful for the toddler
children attending Lincoln Manor, as
we would like them to practice
before entering the preschool room.
Where we would like them to be
able to carry it safely up the stairs.
(Backpacks are recommended so
they are able to hold onto the
railing.)
In order to stop the spread of
the virus, please ensure you
are washing your child’s
belongings regularly.
Blankets, backpacks,
clothing items should be
disinfected before arrival.
We have decided to update our menu for the
children. Please look out for an email from your
supervisor, so you are aware of our meals, and
can provide substitutions if needed.
Please label everything that your child
brings into the center. This is extremely
important during the pandemic,
Dear Families, Thank you for always adapting to the changes of our screening protocols. Now that we are back to in person paper screening, we would like to go over some reminders for you. 1.) Please ensure you are sanitizing both your hands, and your child’s hands as you come up to the screening table. 2.) Each center has a designated entrance, and exit. Please ensure you are following this at all times. There are labels placed on the gates, however if you are still usure of where to exit please ask your morning screener. 3.) During pickup, please do not enter the deck/play area. Please call the center so we are able to bring your child out to you.

Wishing all of you a very safe, and happy family day filled with your loved ones. We know this family day will look a little different for you compared to years past as we are currently facing a stay- at-home order. So, I have added some fun ideas to help make this day as special as can be. We can't wait to hear all about it when you return on Tuesday, February 16th. Movie Night: -Spice it up by creating movie tickets, popcorn tickets and drink tickets. Have one person in your family be the ticket taker and have someone be the concession stand worker. -Create cozy beds on the floor with blankets to change it up. Build Blanket Forts: -Kids LOVE building forts. Work together to collect items from around your house to build the ultimate blanket fort! You can even eat your lunch, watch a movie, or get some colouring activities out to enjoy inside your fort. Flashlights would be an awesome added touch! Make Pizza: -A great hands-on activity that I’m sure your children will enjoy, is making pizza. You can either create one big pizza or split the dough up and make smaller individual ones. Do a science Experiment: -Children love science, and it can also be super fun for us too! I will attach a great science experiment idea for you to try on the next page. Enjoy!

2=Fine Motor Skills
What is it, why is it important?
Fine motor skills are the movements of tiny muscles involving
the synchronization of hands, fingers, and eyes.
Examples: Using tools such as: crayons, eating
utensils, completing puzzles, zipping jackets,
tying shoes
Building fine motor skills are extremely important
in child development. Developing strong fine
motor skills help children to master daily tasks
and become independent for their future.
Our centres provide many chances for your
children to gain strong fine motor skills.
Such as: Colouring, Tracing, Matching,
Encourage independence in dressing for
outdoors, painting, and so much more.This is a really great link for Autism that was shared to us by our resource consultant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-c50HNnPg0
Inclement Weather and Snow Closure Policy
Found in the “Parent Handbook.” On Page 16-17.
Inclement Weather & Emergency Closures
Our centre will not operate if schools are closed or
transportation is not running due to inclement weather or
another emergency. There may be times during the
school year where inclement weather or other situations
could cause transportation cancellations or school closures.
Information about transportation changes and school
closures will be available on the local radio
and television stations as soon as it is available. The centre
closes when the Niagara District School Board announces
school closures or transportation cancellations due to
inclement weather and snowstorms. For information on
centre closures our staff will do a call out to each family
advising of the closure, however parents in both Preschool
and Toddler programs are responsible for determining if the
child care centre is closed because of inclement weather or
unusual circumstances. Regular daily fees are charged for
the days your child is sick, for statutory holidays and winter
storm closures.Crazy Valentine’s
