EAC are currently holding free training and support for people interested in a career in childminding.
Literacy Workshop – Tuesday 26th March 9-10am
It’s Leoni’s turn 🙂Â
Leoni is our Literacy Champion and she would like to invite you along to her workshop based around developing early writing skills.
Parents often ask how they can support their child in areas such as Literacy and Numeracy so Leoni has prepared a short presentation to hopefully answer some questions. There will then be an opportunity to visit our playrooms and outdoor areas, alongside your child, to explore a range of Literacy resources and get ideas for experiences you could continue to offer at home.
If you are interested in attending our Literacy Workshop we ask that you complete the booking form below to help us plan ahead.
Homelink 🏠- WORLD BOOK DAY
✨🌏📚WORLD BOOK DAY📚🌏✨
✨Once upon a time, the wicked staff of Catrine ECC cast a spell on the children and families across the land.
The spell of the tidy up song playing on repeat, this magic spell can only be broken by building a special den at home and sharing your favourite story inside it. Best of luck in breaking the wicked staff’s spell. 🧙🏼‍♀️✨
To celebrate World Book Day and linking with learning experiences within The Mill we would love to challenge your den building skills at home.
Today your child will receive a den building plan for you all to create your very own den, we are so excited to see all of your ideas and dens.
Please return your plan to the ECC and share photos of your den building experience on your child’s learning journal. 🙂
