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!
Exposure to music and musical experiences during childhood can actually accelerate brain development most notably in the areas of language acquisition and reading skills according to a 2016 study at the University of Southern California’s Brain and Creativity Institute. Music has many other benefits for young children ranging from social development to even improved test scores!
ScuttleBugs invites you to join us for our annual Fall Festival Saturday October 20th 10am-1pm. The Amazing Magic Show will commence at 10:30am and we will have a bounce house, some fun activities and of course, delicious refreshments for all to enjoy.
The start of Kindergarten is a huge milestone that we are fortunate to be a part of! It is a big celebration here at ScuttleBugs CDC, complete with a graduation ceremony and party. While this is a very exciting time, it can be quite overwhelming and downright confusing. The birthdate is typically the determinant of when a child is able to start school and which program they qualify for.
Yes, there is definite evidence that some drugs and infectious diseases can pass through breastmilk and affect your child. I’m sure that’s not really a surprise, but knowledge is always good for assessing these potential dangers, and mitigating as much risk to your child as possible.
I very much support home cooking because cooking at home is much healthier and much cheaper than going out to eat… BUT sometimes mommy just needs a break. Being a parent means that our to-do list is never ending. The moment we think we just finished our list of tasks… about 30 more get thrown back on our list. A few of these daily tasks of course includes cooking meals, getting your children to eat that green stuff on their plate, and (the best part) cleaning up afterwards! Yay!
I have always had a passion for books and sharing that passion with my babies has always been important to me. We read books as often as possible throughout our day. It’s so much fun for us all!
This blog speaks to the importance of professional development and continuing education for all. With an ever-expanding need for high caliber care and education of our little one’s, we as parents, teachers, education management and a community need to support early educators and care givers who give back so generously to our kiddo’s, their families and the future generations. It’s a matter of trust and responsibility for all parties concerned. Here is an insight into what is seemingly an everyday opportunity but can be tailored to suit and reinforce your child’s learning through hands on experience.
It’s summer and children cannot get enough outdoor places to explore! Aside from all of the wonderful places I’ve mentioned in my last post, I’ve come up with a list of our top 3 beaches and more outdoorsy sites! Don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen! 😉
We had a week in May when we learned a great deal about BEES!! We learned how bees retrieve nectar, transfer nectar, and turn nectar into a golden liquid.
We learned that not all bees have the same job but work together to create a beautiful liquid that we humans add to our tea, use to help heal wounds, help our digestive system, and soothe our throat. And we learned that that beautiful Golden liquid is called HONEY!
I have my favorite things about being a teacher and many favorite moments, but I think my most treasured thing is forming bonds with children as well as their parents.
