Lakewood Child Care Center

It’s important to start healthy habits early and this theme is helping promoting that, it is dental health week.  All of our children that are over a year old have toothbrushes and practice moving it around their mouth after lunch everyday.  We will be painting with toothbrushes and they have been practicing coloring with crayons on paper.  They have played with bowls and lids, tossed bean bags into baskets, practiced fine motor skills with our pounding benches and dropping sticks into coffee cans as well as explored and listened to plenty of books in a small group.  We had two new babies start that all of the children have been welcoming into the room in some fashion and the new ones are learning to fit in with our group, so exciting for all!  Scarves were out to dance and play peek-a-boo with and bubbles, as always, are a big hit, not matter the age.  Plenty of development is still happening with learning to  sit and furniture walk.  It has been a busy room but every day there is something new happening.  We can’t wait to see what next week brings!
