Community Walks: Often we like to include walks in and around our community as part of our program plan in order to continue and complement our teachings of the seasons, make observations of nature and to provide variety each day. Staff to child ratios will not be reduced during times that the children are outside in the playground or off premises as regulated by the Child Care and Early Years Act and The Ministry of Education. Parents will be notified when educators plan to take children into the community .
