Physical Activity

It is important for your child to get some fresh air, be active, and play outside. Daily physical activity is essential for children’s growth and development, in addition, it helps build social skills, self-confidence, fine motor skills, self-reliance, and improves overall coordination. At Love and Learn we do not have a playground onsite; however, we do have easy access to Junction Park located just a short nature walk away; half a block from the center on Addison Ave and Britta Ave. Junction Park will be used daily, children will get two 1-hour outdoor play times at their scheduled time each day, weather permitting. If outdoor play is not possible, gross motor play will be held inside in the classroom which is equipped with physical play equipment for indoor use.

Nutrition

Nutrition is an essential factor in each child’s growth and development. The first few years in a child’s life are critical years for growth and brain development. It is also a time when children begin to form eating habits that last a lifetime. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided for the children daily. Menus are planned and prepared in-house using quality products and ingredients to support children’s healthy development. We are a PEANUT AND TREE NUT FREE FACILITY.

•    We strive to serve foods the children enjoy, taking family and children’s preferences into consideration when planning future menus.

•   We establish a pleasant social atmosphere in which children can enjoy their meals and snacks while learning social skills, self-help skills, and about good nutrition.

We want kids to be active, be fit, and be healthy!
