It is an important for children to have a daily outdoor play because they get to have fresh air, be active and explore on the land and some places.

In some cases winter is good but weather conditions is another store for instance very cold temperatures would have to stay inside for the children safety.

Providing parent’s information to explain what the daycare will be doing on an outdoor activities in the winter for example let the children bring warm winter clothing if it’s all day thing or short period time. Or let the children being winter clothing always.

Summer time would be raincoat and rubber boots.

Emergency contact information is always to be near by for all daycare in case if one of the children is injured and first aid kits in hand and emergency medication.

In some cases some children have chronic health concerns to not participate in outdoor activities with a parent’s consent.

All in all why children need outdoor activities to be active outside and explore what they have in the community, find what is on the land and have fun in summer and winter. Winter time is sledding on the snow, summer is walking near the beach or on the land.

This regulation is the rules from the government to follow form the children’s safety.

• physical - children in the daycare sings with their movement, it is impotent for the children to sing with their body movements because they get to learn about the movements or with the words of the song.

• Emotional - kids in the daycare always being happy and also when they get hurt they would cry, but when they are having fun for each other they would make teachers make their day. It is important for the children to have fun or to be sad as they have feelings, also they need to feel loved and support from the teacher or from their parents.

• Social - kids in the daycare always play with other kids when ever they get along well, they always have fun when their in a good mood, also when they are singing they would copy one another about the movement of the songs. They would play some toys and pretending to be the character that they want to be. It’s is important for the kids to have friends or someone who can be there by their side as they wont feel alone or they wont feel disconnected with other kids.

• Daily program in the daycare. Children comes at 8:30am to 9:00am as the schedule is said to not be late to drop off the kids to daycare, also if the kid gonna be dropped off late the parents would have to call to the manager. At 9:30am the children would have to wash their hands or potty first then they would have breakfast. At 10:00am after their breakfast their hands would be washed again so that they wont touch the toys or any objects with their dirty foodie hands. Then they would play outdoors and shovel the snow or slide in the little playground. Half an hour they would play and they go inside and have the circle time and singing a song or the teacher would read some book to the children. At 11:30am the teachers would prepare the napping mats and baby bottles to get ready. After the children fell a sleep the workers would prepare some art works or activists to the children so that when they woke up after their snacks at 2pm they would have some fun actives such as arts and crafts. The children always have a different themed everyday like, animal themed day, colours themed day, Inuit cultural themed day and etc. children learned so quick sometimes but sometimes they would not concentrate the things they have to be doing because they are more focus on what they want to be doing but most of the time they are more focus on what they have to be doing.

• Bringing the Daycare children to school for the Christmas concert is important so they will know what happens during the Christmas concerts and it’s important so the children also experience on what they do at the Christmas concert, and letting the Daycare children join the Christmas concert is important as for parents to see the children participating the Christmas concert. And the children inspires them wanting to go to school.

• At the School gym they also gather for the Welcome back sun celebration, so the Daycare children can join the Welcome back sun celebration and everyone would be wearing yellow clothes for welcoming the sun and celebrating at the School gym. When children get back to the Daycare, the Caregivers would start would start asking what they seen at the gym (for example, there’s usually arts and crafts all around the gym and its all about welcoming the sun back and some do just use construction papers to make a sun). So if the children seen all the activity and the caregiver would let the children make the art and crafts activity about the sun and welcoming the sun celebration theme.

• To include all children in all aspects of the daily program, including learning and play activities.

  
  

  
  

  It is helpful to include special needs children in learning and activities as they improve social skills where they get confidence in making friends. Special needs children get to experience what “normal” children learn in a regular environment which can be beneficial for their development.

  
  

  Instead of having free play, make time for hands-on activities like sensory play. Although sensory play is great for all children, Special needs children develops motor skills, they socialize, and their emotional development improves. Sorting and categorizing helps with calming their body and mind, they get to concentrate and helps with cognitive development, they get to learn how to organize, how to count and learn what rows are. Sorting and categorizing can be used with different things such as shapes, numbers, & traceable worksheets or cards (Where they use fine motor skills). Make sure to teach basic math. You can use materials such as using blocks, or magnetic numbers. They learn problem-solving and to sort numbers. It is important for their brain (cognitive) development as when they transition to school, they will get to do more basic math.

  
  

  All of these activities are good for children (including special needs children). Children with special needs are harder to keep them entertained while doing activities but you have to make sure to include them in everything. Make sure you have proper equipments and if you do not have any, ask the parents.
