Knock knock! Orange you glad it's finally autumn?

 Cooler weather, clearer skies! Brighter colours and orange, everywhere! Autumn is here and every hardworking ant knows this is the season to prepare and stock up for the winter.
This year, we approach the season with care, and some new recommendations from Vancouver Coastal Health have meant changes to our sickness policies. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, and pretty much any disease, the number one thing we can all do is to STAY HOME WHEN SICK.
Happily, some of the more common children's conditions, including runny noses and sore throats, have been removed from the BC student health check for COVID. Regardless of the cause of fevers, chills, coughs, or gastrointestinal maladies (ex: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), we ask that you keep children home when they are sick and for 24 hours after symptoms abate.
 Find our UPDATED sickness policies here, including protocols for children who become sick at daycare, and what will happen to your hours in the event of an outbreak.
Even more happily, our Code of Covid Conduct measures meet and exceed the licensing requirements in every way, so you can feel safe when you come to daycare. Please just be sure the cubby area is empty before you enter. :)
Let us know how we're doing!
If your family has enjoyed their time at Buddings, we'd love to share your thoughts on our Google review page, about our COVID response, our flexible service, or your child's favourite daycare pet! Reviews help other families make up their minds, and we appreciate the feedback.
We'd like to reach 15 reviews this month, and your's could be the one that puts us over. Click here to leave your comments

Join the Big Kids Club for Back to School!
|
|
 With autumn's arrival, our new Big Kids Club program, Back to School, kicks into effect, with structured play and learning every afternoon from 1 - 4pm.
It starts with a meet 'n greet circle time and daily presentation, and continues with activities, snacks, and sharing and reflecting. When the weather is nice, we go outside and explore the neighbourhood and all that autumn has to offer. The program offers opportunities for all our big kids to collaborate and share, with no age requirements. Find the details on the blog.
