Flexible Schedule

I believe that children thrive in a stable routine; however I also believe that a schedule needs to be flexible to meet the varied needs arising out of the interests and desires that each day's explorations may bring. I love the great outdoors. I enjoy sharing the wonders of each season with children and do enjoy spending a nice block of time outdoors all year long. The Fall brings so many wonderful colours to explore, Summer is a time of keeping cool in the pool with water -related sports, spring brings gardening activities and there is nothing more exciting then sculpting and painting snow structures in the winter! Whatever the season I have a large repertoire of activities to engage the inquiring mind with - whatever can be enjoyed indoors can also be explored outdoors!
