VISION
UPDATES & REMINDERS
NEW PLAYGROUP!
We will be offering our first quarterly evening playgroup on Wednesday,
February 25th from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. For more information, please
call us at 613-825-5990 or nepeancarltoneyc@cityviewcentre.ca
**INDOOR SHOES – MAKE THEM A PART OF YOUR ROUTINE
We would just like to remind all of our participants that indoor shoes are
necessary during playgroups and workshops. Parents and/or caregivers
must bring indoor shoes for both themselves AND their children. This is a
safety concern for two reasons: everyone must be wearing shoes in case
of a fire drill; also, clean indoor shoes keep the mud, salt and snow off of
the playroom floor so your children aren’t touching it, then putting their
hands in their mouths. We appreciate your cooperation!
Maman Kangourou and Dancing Mama (Salsa Babies Licensee in Ottawa)
are very happy to announce a new partnership through the "Babies
Helping Babies" campaign. The goal of this campaign is to provide
families in need with a gently used baby carrier, so they can have access
to the many benefits of baby wearing.
“Many programs,
one heart –
nurturing children
and responding to
the needs of
families in our
community.”
*
“My father gave me
the greatest gift
anyone could give
another person, he
believed in me.”
~Jim Valvano
The Nepean - Carleton Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) has joined this
initiative and has kindly offered its facility to serve as a collection hub for
the gently used baby carriers. If you wish to donate a baby carrier,
please call us at 613-825-5990 or drop off at the OEYC at 1099 Longfields
Drive, Nepean, K2J 5L2.
We deeply appreciate your contribution and would only ask that the
carriers are clean and with all pieces in place, to ensure the health and
safety of babies. If you are in need of a baby carrier, please contact one
of the OEYC staff.

“It takes a village to raise a
child”
Parenting is too much to do alone. Lean
on family and friends. Ask others to be
a positive force in your child’s life, help
enforce boundaries as well as do fun
things together with your child.

OEYC STAFF
Based on Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT)
A framework for Ontario early childhood settings
What is your child learning?
Cognition – 4.9 Sorting
(Toddlers– 14 months -3 years)
Interactions
Use simple open-ended
questions that invite
responses that can be
actions, e.g., “What else
can you add to the
basket of flowers?”
Indicators of the Skill
• sorting and labeling objects by
characteristics, such as hard and soft
or big and small
• matching items by function
(e.g., spoon with bowl)
Open-ended questions
allow the toddler to give
a personally meaningful
response, and when he
can respond with
actions, it allows him to
communicate his
thinking even when he
may not use his
expressive language.
