Our first toddler lady had her first day at Kidsneyland Childcare. She was a little upset at the beginning, being left by her mom, and she did not realize how much fun to be had for the rest of the morning! She had to be separated from her sweet mom for a coupe of hours when her mommy had to go to work.
However, the gloomy feeling did not last very long. Our young lady soon adjusted to the welcoming environment at Kidsneyland and started her new life here. Following the schedule, we had outside time first: kicking a ball, sliding down the slide, writing with chalk, and digging in the sand box. Those were all fun things for the Lady.
Forty-five minutes later, we went back inside, and created our first art project: Hand Shape Flower. She colored the template with a brush, and her own flower pot with her fingers, and made her own handprints with help from the teacher. In this project our young lady’s fine motor skills were strengthened by holding a brush, dipping and fingerprinting colors. The art work was also a sensory practice. 'How does it feel differently when the paint is on your hands?' She felt, first, a little cold, sticky, and confused. Then she found out that with paints on her hands she can make prints on the paper. She enjoyed it and kept asking for more paint. The changes in colors, when they were mixed, greatly increased her interest. 'Why did those colors change???' She will figure that out when she gets older.
At 11:45am, it was lunch time. The fresh and healthy meal consisted of black mushrooms, shrimp, tofu, some oranges, rice and milk. It seemed like rice was her favorite!
Time went fast. When the door bell rang, “Ding, Dong”, the smart girl knew that it was a signal that her mommy or daddy was here to pick her up!
What a busy morning!
