CENTRE NEWS

Banbury Cottage &  Rainbow Cottage  February is almost over and we cannot believe how much we have already done with the children in these 2 months of 2019. The children celebrated Chinese New Year with the families within our service. The Educators had many wonderful art craft experiences and discussions about Chinese New Year with the children, our rooms filling up with colours of red and gold. Our centre values all the cultures within our community. We celebrate and learn about everyone. Allowing the children to experience and learn new things is a wonderful experience for us as Educators. We care about our families, we include them in our planning and when they can they join us in these cultural celebrations we have throughout the year.  

Our services had their floors polished over the past few weekends and rooms got a quick makeover with some changes in set up. The Educators love surprising the children with a look to their room, new adventures and new learning spaces, creating more opportunities for learning.

We are very excited for our next upcoming Preschool Workshop with the Positive Thinking Clinic in March. Our 4 services offer these workshops for free to children over 3 years old. They are held once per month, and go for 1 hour. At the beginning of February we held our first session and the children who joined the group had a positive experience and got so much done in the 1 hour. The workshops are designed to promote: Mental health and wellness, Personal Development, Emotional Intelligence and overall skills to become better versions of themselves!!! If you would like more information please feel free to contact one of our services or Amanda at the Positive Thinking Skills Clinic.

PARENT INFORMATION

Toilet Training

Just as your baby starts to get older, and you fall into a comfortable routine, it comes time to toilet train. And all of a sudden you find yourself in a spot where you just don't know what to do! Here are some helpful hints to get your prince or princess on the throne.

Pick the right time
Most children aren't ready to use the toilet until they are two or three years' old.

Start preparing your child
It's a good idea to prepare at least a week
Give it a go

It's a good idea to wait until you've got a quiet week at home before starting. Begin first thing in the morning by putting your child in their special underpants, and some old, loose-fitting clothes.

The first few weeks
Toilet training doesn't happen overnight; it might take your child just a few days to get the hang of it, or possibly a few weeks.

Troubleshooting
Sometimes children need a little extra help.

If you find yourself getting angry, or you feel as though your child is not responding, simply stop. Have a break and try again in a few weeks
