Come and have a peek behind the curtain. Learn a bit about what we do in the classrooms, what we think about certain important aspects of Early Childhood Education and other important related subjects. This is where our teachers, management and staff share their passions, opinions, news and sometimes just good old fun things. There’s some pretty interesting stuff going on.
One day we might even let our crusty owners have their say.
No we won’t. Just kidding!
We wouldn’t think twice about the decision to not give a baby a can of Coke. But a glass of juice can actually have more sugar. The reality is, fruit juice is liquid candy, and we can no longer live in the denial that juice is healthy. The American Academy of Pediatricians has finally made a stand by coming out and saying that although juice consumption has some benefits, it also has potential detrimental effects.
This blog is a very personal perspective of everyday life at ScuttleBugs by Ms. Joana, the cook! Since we opened our doors 6 years ago, she has been sharing her love through the delicious, nutritious meals she prepares for the children here at ScuttleBugs on a daily basis.
Come with your kids and relax and cool off for a while at our Ice Cream Social & Open house. Mmmmm! Sugar-free Snow Cones! Your children can also have fun in our playground.
Who doesn’t enjoy a hot sunny day at the beach, lake or river? Unfortunately, because of our busy lives, we don’t always have the opportunity to take our little ones to refresh themselves. But don’t worry, because here at ScuttleBugs we know the importance of water in our lives – and expose and teach the children accordingly.
Why is it important to encourage studying languages and what do we do about it at ScuttleBugs Child Care Center? Read one of our teachers’ perspective…
People from different countries, cultures and languages become parents together or move to a country with a language different from their own. So their children grow up learning two or three languages at the same time. Do they get confused and mix the languages? Is it good or bad to expose a very young brain to multiple languages?
We just had our graduation last week! Some of these children have been with us from infancy; it must be a huge milestone for these families to leave ScuttleBugs behind as they move forward onto the next steps of their lives. But these kids always leave a part of themselves with me and that remains in my heart forever.
…I like to incorporate Physical Education in my curriculum in a FUN way. Every day the children enjoy different themed music and a movement period. In the past I have also added a counting exercise during circle time. This includes choosing a type of exercise (jumping, jumping jacks, hop on one foot, arm circles, etc.) and doing that exercise to the number of the day on the calendar.
We are 6!!! Join us to celebrate ScuttleBugs 6th Anniversary & Open House on Saturday, July 15th, 10am to 2pm! Your little ones can participate in many exciting activities as Bounce House, Face Painting and have their own Balloon designed by the Balloon Artist. Our guests will be offered light refreshments. Kindly RSVP if you would like to join us.
We’re sure these photos will make an appearance at many a coming of age birthday party over the course of each child’s life. Congratulations to all of our little models, you did an amazing job and we can’t wait to see and share more pictures in the future.
