Summer Field Trips and Special Guests

We do everything to ensure that the summer program is especially fun and takes advantage of the weather and unique facilities our city offers. We will go swimming whenever possible, take the children to local wading pools and parks, and arrange special field trips to Centre Island, etc. We also have our own celebrations such as pyjama days, picnics, and special events that are culturally inclusive. Another feature of the summer program are activities that take place at the daycare such as: dance classes, art projects, sports and drama. Programming varies in accordance to the annual decisions made by the Programming Committee.

Field Trips

On field trips outside the Centre, each staff member is responsible for a certain number of children determined by age-appropriate ratios. Parents are welcome to participate in field trips and are often needed in order to give us the appropriate ratio. Please, if at all possible, join us for at least one excursion during the summer. It's a great way to spend some time with your child and meet his or her friends. When a trip is planned we will ask you to sign a trip permission form allowing your child to participate. It is important that each child understands that he/she must be considerate of others and show respect for public property on all WEPD outings. For the safety of the children, all pickups and drop-offs for fieldtrips take place at the Centre.

Special Guests

We like to have guests to do on-site workshops with the children during the year, especially for the toddlers and pre-school children who don't attend school yet. These include musical guests, storytellers, etc.
