More super experiences have been taking place here at Catrine ECC.

Last week a small group of children visited Pets at Home in Kilmarnock. We organised a petting session for the group and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff for allowing us to visit and meet some of the animals there.

Here at Catrine ECC we are constantly looking for ways to support children and families not only in the centre but whilst at home too.

Between August and December we had numerous daily chats, settling in meetings for new starts, progress meetings for returning children and Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings with those who work in partnership with other agencies such as Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychologists, Health Visitor etc.

During these conversations and through observations made within the centre we wanted to offer opportunities to try best support families to achieve some of these developmental milestones.

Please follow the link below to book in or out to each of the sessions according to what you feel would be of benefit.

Week 2 Hallowe’en pumpkin craving (WB 28th Oct)

Can you carve a pumpkin at home with your child and bring into the centre on Wednesday 30th October? We are going to create our own pumpkin patch in our green space. We will have a walk through this area at our Stay and Play or you are welcome to come in at the end of the session for some nice pictures. You can upload pictures onto the learning journal of you working with your child carving it. Can all pumpkins be collected on Friday at the end of the day to take home please?

If you need help sourcing a pumpkin can you let the ECC know by 24th October? Thanks.

Carrie, our Expressive Arts Champion, is leading this month’s Parent Workshop and has tied it in nicely to a messy Hallowe’en theme for you to enjoy with your child.
