EXCITING NEWS!! The child care subsidy income thresholds has been increased to $180,000 to benefit more families. Unique Kids Preschool is designated as a licensed facility-based child care program through the Alberta Child Care Subsidy Program. For further information regarding this program and its eligibility criteria, check out https://www.alberta.ca/child-care-subsidy.aspx.
In addition to the above mentioned child care subsidy, the Province of Alberta's Children's Services is providing a $75 Affordability Grant payment per month to further lower preschool fees for all parents irrespective of family income. This $75 grant is already deducted from the preschool fees (see Registration/Fees tab).
Come and take a peek at our bright and newly renovated space, new furniture and toys.
In March, our preschoolers learned about oceans and under the sea. The kids glided like the slippery fish and squiggled like an octopus and much more!
In the month of March, our preschoolers enjoyed their field trip to Safeway where they got to see all the different sections of this grocery store. Some sections we know and others we came to know! They took us to the back and showed us where they prepare their vegetables and where the bread is made. We got to learn what the pharmacy is for and then we made our way to the deli where the kids were offered a snack. The kids had a wonderful time and were amazed with all the new things they learned.
Will April "showers" bring May flowers? We certainly hope so.
For the month of April, the Tues/Thursday class will be exploring modes of Transportation and learning about numbers.
For the month of April, the Mon/Wed/Friday class will be learning about community helpers such as fire fighters, police offices, etc. SAFETY will also be covered in all aspects of our lives - from remembering to "buckle-up", crossing streets to playground safety.
Themes for May will include a special person "MOM" and "Spring is in the Air" as well as Spring babies.
As for June, our focus will be on farm animals, Father's Day and the graduation ceremony.
