SUMMER SEASON (July, August, September)
(this Leaderboard resets to zero at the start of each season)
Early Years (birth to 5 years)
Free Play
Landmark #3 (Exercise the Senses Every Day)
All the wonders and beauties of free play were illustrated so perfectly today as the children danced their way right to fresh mud! The rain yesterday was a blessing to our garden and the children found the mud to be another exciting offering from the downpour. Today the sun shone and offered the perfect environment to build with thick, sticky clay.

Singing and planting
Landmark #5 (Garden/Care for Animal)
Growing lettuce, zucchini and kale has always been something that we do together! Each year we till, plant, water, weed and harvest. Never before has the garden been such a joyful place of discovery! The children sing to their plantings as they pull weeds, learning more about the circle and cycle of life and sustainability each day.

Ants! Ants!
Landmark #2 (Animal Friends)
They find a log and peel back the bark. “Ants! So many ants!” said B. B balancing on decaying log that houses many grubs. “I have to be careful not to step on the ants. This is their home.”

Middle Years (6 to 9 years)
Biking Fun
Landmark #1 (Explore Outdoors Together)
Biking is our new favourite way to get to our forest fort! This is a new skill and a new way to see the world. I can’t wait until our littlest friends begin to learn biking too. What wonderful adventures await!

Celebrating Seasons
Landmark #11 (Celebrate Seasons)
Today we welcomed August by enjoying local corn, we husked and cooked ourselves. We used the husks to create lovely little corn husk dolls. What a wonderful seasonal activity that reminds us to waste not want not! Our creations will provide us with endless hours of imaginary fun, and allowed us to practice our tying and weaving skills.
Babbling Brook Daycare – August 4/20
Momma Monarch
Landmark #2 (Animal Friends)
The most magical thing happened today! These tiny legs travelled all the way to Jackson Creek to see what we could find. We love visiting our own forest each day, but travelling somewhere new is a wonderful adventure too. On the way we spent many moments watching a momma Monarch feast on delicious milk weed. “She will leave her babies and die, but her babies will fly soon.” said H. How amazing that such tiny humans understand the circle of life with such precision and explain it in such simplicity.
