Applejacks

Our toddlers sure know how to bring meaning to their play. The light graced us with her presence and what a beautiful way to spend a morning: using a tin can to try and catch the reflective light that touched the ground. Play is how children learn.

We kick of 2026 with an exploration with PAINT! Each year we choose 4 new materials to explore and learn about as educators! We select materials based on the creative value it offers child. We think about: how open ended are the materials? How can the material be explored in a variety of ways? What are the 100 languages of the material?
Children are often get lots of exposure to paint and we are diving into discovery the material in new and existing ways!!

Children are hassled and bustled all around in the busy day to day lives we live. At Applejacks natural rhythms of children are honoured and celebrated. We pause. We reflect and we go with the flow as the day allows. Letting children be is a magic.
