A Time of Thanks and Gratitude

This month, we celebrate Thanksgiving, a time to gather with loved ones and reflect on those

people and things for which we are grateful.

We are especially thankful that our first month of school has been filled with excitement and

exploration for our students. Thanks to our incredible team of teachers, the children have spent

the past month getting to know one another and settling into a routine of free-play; circle, story

and gym time; as well as daily art activities. As parents, we delight in the stories of their day and

all that they are learning.

This month the children will have conversations and activities that centre around Fall, gratitude,

and Thanksgiving. They will also start weekly music sessions with Miss Melissa from Simple

Harmonies.

We must also take this opportunity to thank those of you who purchased apples through our

recent Apple Fundraiser. We are deeply grateful to be a part of a community that is committed to

supporting the enrichment of our local children.

The WHCA Preschool is a play-based, local preschool program that runs morning and afternoon

classes for three- and four-year-old children in the WHCA Community Centre. Using a play-

based curriculum, our children develop social, emotional, intellectual, and gross motor skills that

are the foundation for future learning.
