Daycare News !I am very excited to write my first newsletter as Program Director for our 2-5 yr old program having recently returned from maternity leave.!
This month our children have been out and about making connections with the community. The delicious fall scent of cinnamon apples filled the corridors as a crock pot of apple sauce bubbled away in the mountain lion classroom made with fresh produce from the Farmers market. We had visits from Tracey at Wildrose dentistry to talk to our older groups about dental hygiene and Dominique from Public Health to demonstrate the importance of hand washing. The chickadees enjoyed a visit to the Pet store. The library programs recommenced with children attending the story-times and Tegan visiting the daycare centre to read stories in our classrooms. !
We have some exciting plans to celebrate Halloween and the entire daycare will participate in pajama day on Friday Oct 24th.!
Next month we look forward to music and movement sessions with Kids Can Do More .!

Parents Corner
With winter right around the corner, our kids' clothing quantities going to Daycare are going to increase exponentially with all the extra toques, mittens, snow boots and snowsuits they will be needing. If you have multiple kids in Daycare there will be even more stuff to manage. A handy tool I just recently discovered is Mabel's Labels. You can custom order labels for their clothes, sippy cups, and even shoes. You don't have to worry about ironing as there is a self adhesive option for clothing. I found ordering the labels with your last name makes the stickers more versatile (can even be used for a parent's gym shoes). And as an added bonus, if you order through the!Daycare's fundraising link, part of your order is donated back to the Daycare, win-win!!See Fundraising Section for details.!!- Karen Kinsberg!!!!!

Kathy and Alvin Liknes at The Canmore Ranch
Kathy and Alvin had a large family of 6 children that they were absolutely, devoted to and 12 grandchildren that were the center of their world.
On behalf of the O'Brien and Liknes families, we would like to thank everyone for their continued support in helping them cope with this tragic event. In moving forward, there are a number of expenses the families will incur. The expenses may range from memorial services to legal fees. This fund will help the Liknes and O'Brien families deal with these types of expenses.
Thanks for those who have already contributed to the Superheroes are Real Trust Fund at CIBC for the O’Brien/Liknes family. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to CIBC Canada for their support – 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the family.
Thank you for your generosity
