Message From Our Teachers<\/h2>\n

Welcome Spring! We sure hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! Returning enthusiastic, rejuvenated and well rested! March was a wonderful time spent together filled with worm searches, insect hunts and camping dramatic play, musical instruments and relay obstacle course making! We had a great deal of fun wearing fancy clothes and fairy\/butterfly wings, exploring sensory foam, colour mixing, watercolour painting, paper tearing and cutting! With Easter just days ahead we are looking closer at farm animals and farm life as well as bunnies, ducks and chickens. This makes sense as we will also be having an Easter Egg Hunt on Wednesday April 5th and Thursday April 6th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thank you everyone for coming out to take part in our annual art exhibit. The opening night hosted an excess of 200 people enjoying Rock Paper Scissors<\/strong> and the beautiful guitar music of local musician Enrico Renz<\/strong>. We wish to thank Laura Newman for all her hard work helping us glaze and paint our ceramic art pieces, and thank you also to all the families who donated drinks and treats for our very special event!<\/p>\n

Our annual art show Rock Paper Scissors is on display until April 9th. This gives you plenty of time to support the artists of Queen\u2019s Park Preschool, spread the word and share on your social media. This is a huge event that showcases our preschool and the unique community we are.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, in our fours’ classes during the month of April we will also begin exploring outer space, galaxy theme and in our threes’ classes we will talk about community helpers including fire fighters and police officers. We are also hoping to have a real police officer visit in our three year old programs in April (to be announced).<\/p>\n

Mark your calendars so you do not forget that the preschool is closed on April 7th and April 10th for the Easter long weekend<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

PSSST\u2026.
\nIn the month of April expect to hear more about fairies, dragons, princesses, queens and knights as our exploration of all things magical and whimsical gets under way. Stay tuned as we are planning a dress up day inspired by castles, kings, knights, fairies, insects, dragons, princes and princesses, gardens, flowers, gnomes and all those who inhabit a royal kingdom. Plan to dress up in your favourite costume or costume item (crown, wings, whatever\u2026) on Monday April 17th and Tuesday April 18th.<\/strong> This idea was inspired by your children\u2019s interest in fairies and crowns, creating a desire to have princess dress up day! Let\u2019s make these wishes come true together!<\/p>\n
