Each of our children had the opportunity to attend one of our day trips to Dumfries and had an absolute ball – staff included!
Alana, Lesleyanne and Sherrie took it in turns to drive the children in 4 groups to the beautiful grounds and spent 4hours there exploring all it has to offer.

Our SWAY above shows just some of what each group got up to.

A huge thank you to everyone who came and of course for the effort Sherrie put in to setting up such a fabulous variety of experiences for you to explore and investigate – not to mention the epic clear up that was required afterwards haha.

Each ELCP has created a SWAY (separate to individual Learning Journal entries) which shows both the breadth and depth in learning the children are offered here at Catrine ECC.
Please click on each link below to see more 🙂
First up is Sherrie and Carrie who were responsible for outdoor learning across both out Greenspace and garden area 🙂

Next up is Leoni who was in The Mill

Rena had a fab time in The Square

And Julie was responsible for The Brig

I wonder what next month will bring 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone – from TEAM CATRINE

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.
