Burnside Gorge Community Association Family Centre - Early Years Program

Dear Families,

Due to a minor illness, I will be away today, so today will be a free play day in the family centre. Unfortunately, that means no snacks or coffee but please feel free to bring your own (just try to keep snacks at the table or we'll be finding muffin crumbs and grapes in the toy bins next week! 😉).

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Jenn

Dear Families,

Tomorrow (Friday Sept 4th) I will be away, so it will be a free play day at the centre. The playroom will be unlocked but there won't be snacks or coffee. Please feel free to bring your own snacks and come enjoy our space during our regular playgroup hours (9:30-12).

All the best,
Jenn

Dear Families,

I will be away tomorrow so tomorrow's group will be free play with no snacks or coffee provided. Please come and enjoy the space and toys and bring your own food for indoor picnics 💕

Please be mindful to tidy up after yourselves and treat the space and each other with kindness ❤️ Our regular Mighty Movers with Kindergym and Family Room play will be back on Monday.

See you Monday!

Dear Families,

We have some wonderful guests joining us this Wednesday from 11 to 11:30... the library outreach team from Saanich Centennial GVPL! They will give us an overview of their programs, a short storytime, and an opportunity to sign up for a free library card. Please feel free to take home some children's books from our 1000x5 program as well, we will be restocking next week!

Let me know your favourite books and I'll look into adding them to our library as well!

I can't wait!📚📕📗📘📙📔📖

See you soon,
Jenn
