Welcome to BridgeWay Family Centre

This workshop discusses self esteem in children and how to foster your child’s self esteem.

In this workshop, we will address basic safety in our environment. We will provide information on safety awareness in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom, safety on the road and all around the house. Collaborative minds will present safety practices in and around your environment.

This program is a transitional program between Infant Mother Goose / Babies on the Move and Toddler Time. It offers a song circle, a short story and creative activities that introduce young toddlers and their adults to opportunities to explore craft supplies.

• Why is reading to your child important? • How can you incorporate reading to your child into your daily routine? • What are the developmental milestones of reading? • Where can we find environmental print?

Successfully engaging your child in play activities can be mutually rewarding. Learn about developmental levels for children up to 5 years and stages of play, as well as age appropriate toys and activity ideas.

Discuss how parents can develop positive parenting skills with their infants by encouraging them to understand and read their babies signals, how to develop clear limits and expectations and the importance of being consistent.

The key to positive discipline is not punishment but mutual respect. Parents and teachers will be coached on how to be both firm and kind, so that any child from a three year old toddler to a rebellious teenager can learn cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity.

This program time offers children and their caregivers an opportunity to use creative materials and explore various activities that support gross motor, fine motor and/or sensory development.

This program provides an opportunity for parents and children to interact through music, movement and rhymes. Your participation will help your child develop physical coordination, social skills and creative expression.
