While at Circle Time please remember...
- You are responsible for your child; please be aware of where he/she is at all times. We do not want to see anyone hurt.
- You are responsible for checking off your family number from the attendance list. This will allow us to provide effective programming.
- During the sessions, parents and children sit on the floor and do rhymes together.
- There are no rules for using rhymes correctly. Words can be changed to be more appropriate to your child and actions suited to a child's age and liking.
- NO pushing, hitting, biting, etc. Circle Time is a safe, friendly environment.
- Circle Time begins at 10 a.m.
- Circle Time has books available for you to borrow. They are also available for you during quieter times during the session.
- Snacks are offered once the singing session is completed. Please serve yourself, and ensure that you bring the sippy cup and any leftover snack to the kitchen. Please notify us of any food allergies.
- Craft follows snack time. This provides another opportunity for you to have a creative fun time with your child.
- Should your child become ill or have an "accident" on the floor, please notify the staff immediately. Cleaning supplies are available to you. This will allow for proper cleanup and ensure a safe and healthy play space for all. A change table is available in the washroom.
- If your child is experiencing illness such as diarrhea, fever, vomiting, etc. we hope that you will stay home and load on the TLC!
- Please check the Parents’ Place calendar for any scheduled changes. Should we need to cancel a session (storm or sickness etc.) we will announce this cancellation on CJLS.
- Although our program is for children age 0 to 5 years, we do cancel playgroup when schools are closed due to poor weather conditions. If you are unable to find childcare for your school-aged children, we advise that you not attend Circle Time that day.
“Children delight in the sounds of words in rhythm and rhyme.”
